10-20 mg per day . Not much but was enough for my body and brain to become reliant on it . I know there are people who take way more and don't have as bad withdrawals but I've read of people on for only a month and have problems coming off . Wish I had of know to taper off . Oh well . Feeling a bit better today . So hopefully will feel better again tomorrow then by this time next week should be all good . From everything of read how I was feeling last couple of days should be the worst of it . I knew it was addictive but I didn't realize I can happen so quickly . I thought it would take much larger doses to be a problem .

I take 1mg per day and it is consistent everyday, no tolerance build up, no signs of dependency and it is doing the job good and proper. I have gone off this dose with no issues also. I guess it varies from person to person. Why do you want to come off your dose? DO you feel you are abusing it?

I just felt like I was becoming decant on them and my script ran out so thought I would just try to get over panic attacks with exersise and less stress all that kinda thing . Didn't know anything about Valium withdrawal though . It's way worse than any panic attack . Don't get me wrong I'm not bagging Valium its great as a short term fix and with tapering off I'm sure it would have been not such a problem to get off . I was starting to need to up my dose so figured its time to get off . Got at least another week of this shit though . Starting to have windows of feeling myself again which from what of read is a sign the brain is fixing its self . Can't wait for this to be over . Feeling good for most of the day makes it seem even more intense when the withdrawal kicks in again . Oh well I will really appreciate feeling " normal " again .

Hey I'm trying out tissue salts for my anxiety and after a bit of research on them seem like they have other positive effects like better sex drive ( not that I need that ) and help with healing so maybe they will be not a bad thing while doing pe anyway . I got them at chemist last night while in the grip of anxiety attack ate one as soon as I walked out . It said to take one every half hour in severe circumstances ( up to max six ) until symptoms stop . After four I felt very relaxed and slept like a baby . Will see how they go over next few days . I have had mag phos before for muscle spasm and they worked well . I don't want to have to rely on Valium for ever so I hope these work .

Yep that's the ones . Only $12 aus dollars . Schullers tissue salts . Not sure if I've spelled that correctly . Can't really say if they work yet . Only took them for a couple days before I realized I was going through Val withdrawals . Feeling much better but still not 100% . What ever you are on now you will need to get off and go through withdrawals which will give you worse anxiety but you will be better off for it . Medications all have side effects and won't cure anxiety. Give the tisur salts a go

Im only 20 years old now, but I remember a year ago when I could get raging erections/morning wood/ wetdreams and keep an erection during sex.

I jelqed for months with no problem, seeing about a .3 gain.

I was put on celexa 40 mg because I have severe anxiety/ panic attacks and ive tried my best using natural Remedies/ exercising / eating right. But it only led me to the hospital and having about 15 grand worth of medical bills. ( I had a severe panic attack. My fingers crimpled up, had the sand feeling everywhere , couldnt walk/talk / had painfull chest pains / palputations.. All symptoms of a massive heart attack) but after every single test.. I was cleared healthy.

After taking the celexa 20 mg Ive noticed no libido/sex drive and it took longer to climax.. I was bumped up to 40mg because I was still anxious. 40mg did the trick.

Now at 40mg I had no anxiety/panic attacks but no morning wood/ couldnt keep an erection in sex/ jelqing/ masterbation/ no sex drive.

Ive jelqed regularly with good results, but now Im not able to keep an erection for more than 1 minute so its impossible to jelq...

Ive went to the phsychiatrist/doc and he prescribed me welbutrin and said it could combat the sexual side effects of celexa.. But its been 3 months and no change. Ive told him that this is a problem but I just want to find out myself if theirs any other meds with no sexual side effects.

My question is.. Has anyone had this problem? Did you quit jelqing or moved on to something else?

It seems my problem is the celexa not the welbutrin. but the thing is. Im not depressed.. Im just anxious. And most anti anxiety pills have sexual side effects.. Does anyone know of one that doesnt? (not an anti depressant)
