Anxiety
"I had panic attacks for years.  I started using Celexa at 10mg per day and the panic attacks stopped.  I still get nervous when I am in situations where there is focused attention on me (social phobia).  That is where the Ativan plays it&#039;s role.  Before a social situation, I take a 5mg Ativan.  It is fast acting and wears off quickly.  It allows me to relax into a situation and become comfortable with the new environment.  I only take it a few times a month, so there is no danger of becoming addicted.  Just knowing I have one pill with me helps me face situations better.  It&#039;s a &#039;crutch&#039;, I know.  But, when dealing with anxiety, we all know that we do what ever we can to cope!"
