Hey guys,

After 4 months of dealing with near constant anxiety after hitting my head, I'm thinking of giving citalopram another shot. I was on it for 3 days but discontinued after a horrific panic attack. This time I'm going to use a benzo with it while I adjust. I've been using a very low dose of benzo every so often since July. Tends to take the edge off, but I tend not to get panic attacks, just low grade anxiety that stays nearly all day. It has a big effect on my work and personal life.

I've tried 5-htp, 100mg each morning for over a month. I think it helped but just not enough. I discontinued the 5-htp on Thursday I believe. How long do you think before I can start the SSRI?

Also, for those who've used SSRIs to help their PCS depression/anxiety, how long have you stayed on them?
