I went on citalopram, it took a while for it to take effect but did help. Im only on a small dose now and looking to come off it completely in the near future.
I agree with the anxiety point as well. I got to the point where I was more worried about the possibility of a panic attack than the original cause of my anxiety. Then got depressed when I would come down from the heightened state of worry. Quite a destructive cycle.
