If you're due to see your dr. today, I would definitely tell him what's going on. I can't even imagine a supplement that could add to or countervail the effects of drugs as powerful as Celexa, so I think our layman's attempts at advising about supplementation are futile. This is almost certainly a pharmacological issue (or a physical one--is there possible that there's something wrong physically? That's worth checking out--some medical conditions, like heart disease, can cause extreme anxiety).

Again, please report back and let us know how things go.

Default Um... when did you start the supplements?

You mention a new supplement protocol for ADD and you say the anxiety reappeared three weeks ago. ???

I would wonder what else happened four weeks ago. Did you change any foods, new carpet, painted the house, ??? Start exercising, stop exercising, something?

I stopped the supplement protocol for ADD in the middle of my three-month weight loss period. The only new things I've done recently that I remember are add weight training to my exercise regimen (May) and add back some carbs to my diet (extra veggies, 1/2 and apple instead of a quarter on workout days) (mid June).

Uh-oh -- could it be the extra carbs?

Acohn, it would be hard for me to believe that some extra carbs are causing the anxiety you're experiencing--unless you're feeling extremely guilty about adding them.

I just reread your post about supplementation, and I should have picked this up before. How much epinephrine are you taking? That can have serious effects in susceptible people! I myself have gone into full fledged panic attacks, with racing heart and trouble breathing, when given novocaine with epinephrine at the dentist's office. (They know NOT to give me that any more!) Does your doctor know you're taking it? Is there any correlation between the time you started the supplements and the onset of the anxiety? This is something I really think you should look into.
