How To Heal Anxiety/panic Attacks While On Celexa 20 Mg And Adivant With No Relief?

I have been under a lot of stress ever since my mother passed away. Since then my anxiety has been out of control and when I feel a panic/anxiety attack coming on everything tenses up. Both of my arms feel like they have a small current of electricity. When I'm able to relax, then it goes away and it comes back. I did however feel like I did some sort of nerve damage. my doctor diagnosed me with anxiety/ depression and was put on celexa 20 mg and adivant when needed
it has been four days since I have been taking this medication and feel like my anxiety/panic attacks have gotten worse, not able to sleep either

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

If you are not getting enough benefit with celexa 20mg, in that case either you need other antidepressant or one more antidepressant could be added to your treatment. You can also consult psychologist for relaxation exercise and try to avoid stimulant like tea, coffee etc. In case you need our help, you can connect us.

Thanks
