Many years ago I was given citalopram to help with severe anxiety. The big difference between this, and the other times I'd been given paxil, stratera, wellbutrin, Lexapro, and others, was that I had a therapist who was adamant that drugs alone will not help. You must combine drug therapy with closely monitored, regular one-on-one therapy. That year of therapy and the meds changed my life. Now I'm off the meds and doing very well. Just two cents but maybe others have similar experience?
- amorphid 10y agoIt sounds like therapy is learning to run, and medication is a good pair of running shoes.
- Sanddancer 10y agoI'd compare them more to orthotics than running shoes. Some people only need them temporarily until their legs get better, some people need them for the rest of their lives. You still need a doctor, but they help with day to day activities.

- johnward 10y agoWellbutrin for anxiety? That drug made me more anxious and wired.
