I have been on celexa since January...am on 20mg of that as it made me angry and didn't seem to work by itself. I do not have bi-polar however I do have angry outburst and freak my kids out a ton. So my dr. Prescribed lamictal... I worked my way up to 100mg but now I feel a ton of anxiety and insecurity ....super annoying. I suppose my question would be should I go up on the lamictal?
Thank you for your help in advance!

Hi

Good to meet you and welcome to the forum you have found a good source of support here. I was on Celexa years ago and did find it to be a good medication for helping with anxiety. Lamictal is an anticonvulsant medication but tends to be used a lot with patients with Bi-Polar not sure how well it works for anxiety?. Anticonvulsants tend to prescribed by pdoc's if the patient has not had success with any of the ssri's or snri's so in my view maybe you should try an other sari? I am not a doctor so the above is just my opinion so always best to consult with your doctor and chat things through with them. Take care and keep posting.
