Citalopram for anxiety

Hi,
According to the prescribing information Citalopram is prescribed for depression and I was wondering if anyone has used it specifically for anxiety rather than for depression and has it helped long term.

Decca.

hi i have panic anxiety did have depression but managed to overcome it 6yrs ago and i am on citalopram 30mg

I'm now on 60mg Citalopram but as you know, Decca as you've been helping me such a lot, my anxiety has returned. So I really don't know if the Cital does help with it or not :shrug:

Hi yeah I use citalopram purely for my anxiety and yes it has helped .
I started on 20mg but after a rough patch I upped to 30mg .

i was changed from tricyclic lofepramine prescibed for dep to citalopram to aid my anxiety disorder.

i dont feel it was as good with my dep certainly intially, but is helping anx. im on 40mg at mo
