after 15 years i still am seizure free seen DR today
my dilantin level last year was 2.4 this year it is 3.8 but that level works to control my seizures so he is keeping me on just on 300mg a day
put me on Celexa for panic disorder due to worrying about epilepsy

Good news:) Did your doctor reassure you that you needn't worry so much about a seizure re-occurence, since it has been so long without another one?
I hope so, and that you can now feel a little bit less anxious about that.

I am glad that you are managing your health and anxiety with your dr.s help...well done!

Take care,
S.C.

I don't know personally about Celexa, but have heard more good than bad reviews on it. Of course, everyone is different with individual needs, so give it the initial few weeks try (SSRIs can typically take up to 6-8 weeks to build and level in your system) and determine if it's right for you:)

You may also want to do a search on in here (HW search), where you will find other's disscussions about it.
