"i was prescribed paxil when i was 25 for panic attacks and took it for a few years. it helped but gave me sexual side effects. it was making me have a hard time to ejaculate. i changed to citalopram 20mg when i was 28. it has been workin well until now, im 35. two ago i stopped taking it an i was doing fine. a month ago i had a few drinks and decided to do a little cocaine. bad move. my anxiety exploded. started taking 30mg of citalopram daily since then. it still doesnt work after a month so my doctor prescribed me .5 clonazepam when needed. when i feel really anxious, i take .25 and it wards off any anxiety. i feel back to normal. i hope the citalopram will start its effect soon and i dont have to take clonazepam anyone but it helps."
