 I have been dealing with anxiety forever, seems like... it got really bad after I had a "meltdown" in '97... mixed booze, weed, guarana/ephedra and Serzone (a nasty SSRI that was banned later, my Doc said drinking on it was fine) ...  been with me ever since (brain altered?)... I was on Celexa for almost 2 years, it helped, but made me into a bit of a zombie...

Benzos work great, but have some serious dangers...  SSRIs scare me, as they often have bad side effects starting and stopping... and poop out after X number of years...

Nardil gets great reviews but has some dietary major interactions...

I find homeopathic anxiety remedies take the edge off... but only in a minor way...

I have bad allergies that don;t respond to antihistamines and that adds to the anxiety and gut issues...

&amp;#x200B;

Any suggestions?  I might have to try Celexa again... or maybe some other SSRI... but I would prefer not to!
