There are people who cannot stand the serotonin increase which is predominately in the body... many get diarrhea, nausea etc.

I believe that people who react this way, to SSRIs (and Celexa is one of the milder ones)... just won't ever do well on them and that they may have more serotonin actions than other people to begin with.

For anxiety... I'd suggest l-Theanine. I use 300mg at bedtime, and it is very nice for anxious symptoms. I've been using it since August. I've always been anxious due to childhood trauma, but when my blood sugar started to swing around...it seemed much worse.

Dr. Blaylock MD the neurosurgeon, who is now an alternative minded retired doctor, suggested it in his newsletter, for people with peripheral neuropathy. (nerve damage) A poster here brought that to our attention at PN, so I tried it. It is very calming without being sedating, or having any side effects. I use Doctor's Best Suntheanine, after finding Swanson's wasn't doing the same job for me.

Here is a link I find that explains it well...

This thread discusses other PN issues as well, but the theanine is discussed in about 1/2 of that thread scattered about in various posts.

This link explains theanine in more detail:

What is nice about this is that is doesn't cost alot of money and has no side effects to speak of, and you feel much much better.

I'd start at 300mg a day. The article says you can go higher, but you may not need to. I'm happy with that dose at bedtime.

I am getting mine at Amazon.com which now is very competitive on the more pricey, unusual supplements.

The Doctor's Best line, is very high quality at affordable prices.

Can't hurt to try IMO.
