OH WOW! Gonna do my best to stay away from the xanax now. I think I am addicted to it already. I have been on it 2 months. What about Buspar for anxiety. My dr. wants to add it to Celexa because my anxiety is seriously out of control. She also mentioned neurontin? Any info or advice.

Hang in there... Not much else I can say. I have been through a nuerological scare myself and it was not fun. Everything worked out and I am sure it will work out for you as well.

What leads you to think you have parkinson's? (symptoms)

Pretty sure anxiety can do that... if your really concerned I guess go see your dr.

Okay... I have read it anxiety will cause twitches (yes it can also be other things), BUT read your post, you are sooo anxious. You are probably like me and have generalized anxiety disorder. You still have a lot of freaky symptoms but they don't quite fit the mold of a panic attack. Don't be scared you will be okay, this is just your anxiety making more of it. There are so many other symptoms in Parkinsons disease and you just have some twitches. See how are anxious mind work... it's like we go to the worst case scenerio and think we have it. Hang in there. You could also be having muscle spasms and that is also caused by anxiety.

what I meant by the freaky symptoms is that when you are anxious you don't neccessarily have the same symptoms as the next person. I am more worried I losing my mind, we all have our fears... Every thought and symptom seems to prove to us that something is wrong. It sucks and I wish I knew my way out of the cycle, BUT you do not have parkinson's disease.

Joe,
I took your advice and started at 2.25 mg of Celexa, worked my way up to 20 3 days ago and I am tolerating it just fine. Not feeling any better yet, but the dr. thinks I need to get up to 40mg and then give it 4 weeks. I wanted to mention this because I had a horrible reaction to zoloft, I really thought I was losing it. I was scared to death to try again, but going slow seems to be really helping. Thanks and keeping my fingers crossed.
I also changed from rapid release xanax to extended release because it is less addictive. Hoping to get off it when and if the celexa kicks in, but right now I have to keep the edge off somehow.

celeste23,
You may want to try again. I don't know your situation though. Along with the dp/dr I am a severely depressed, so I praying it will work for me.

Yes I was taking Benzos with the zoloft and I still couldn't control my anxiety. It was really scary. I am so sensitive to meds, I really think it is just working up slowly that is helping.
