Llevo casi 12 semanas con cit. 1 semana a 10, 1 semana a 20, 6 semanas a 30 y casi 4 semanas a 40. Me he sentido fatal desde que subí a 40. Me subieron porque tuve unos días malos a 30, pero antes de eso me encontraba mejor.
Mi pregunta es si para algunas personas 40 puede ser demasiado. No sé si debo intentarlo un poco más o bajar a 30. Quizás debería haberme quedado en 30. Tengo un bebé de 8 meses y esto es horrible.
That's rapid series of increased doses, I think it would have finished me off!
I had 3 wks on 10mg and now just short of 4 weeks on 20mg. I'm gonna try my best to maintain this dose and weather any blips if they come. Thing is you don't know it's a blip or an indication for an increase. I think getting the right dose is guesswork !!
Things may have settled again on 30mg who knows. I hope you're feeling better soon - what does your GP think?
After I had my little boy when he was 6 months I was on 10mg and after 2 weeks I was put up
To 20mg, the side effects where horrendous but after about 6 weeks things started to settle, maybe 40mg is a little too high, perhaps you could ring ur GP and explain x. Hope you feel better soon
Yes 40mg can be too much. Lots of people suffer on this dose.
Taking a bigger doesn't mean you'll get better any quicker and neither does it stop you getting the up / down phase (blips) any more than if you took 20mg. It can take a long, long time to recover and you can't hurry it along - it'll happen in its own time, for you. For some people it'll take 6 weeks, but for the majority it'll take months and months of patience and determination.
Why take a bigger dose than you need to? You can recover on 20mg - but to know this you need to be on that one dose for many months, go through many blips, and out the other side. True, you may need a bigger dose, but you need to give one dose months before you can see if it's the one for you.
It took 6 months on 20mg for me to recover, and even after that I improved more and more. My son took a different type of SSRI and it took 9 months for him to recover.
These meds don't work like any other regular medicines whereby you see results in days / weeks. You should count each month off, not weeks.

En mi experiencia, 20 mg era demasiado alto, así que no podía imaginar estar al doble. Mi médico sugirió aumentar mi dosis ya que los 20 mg no estaban funcionando, pero le pregunté si podía probar reducir a 10 mg. Esto funcionó de maravilla para mí y estoy de vuelta a mi antiguo yo.
Me preocupa si bajo a 30 ahora, si tendré abstinencia. El médico dice que no, pero no estoy segura de creerle.
Si 40 es demasiado alto, ¿crees que eso significa que no me mejoraré con eso o que eventualmente me adaptaré?
Me siento un poco mejor hoy.
I'm not sure but trust your dr.
It's difficult coping with a little baby isn't it
You could drop to 35mg first before going to 30mg. I reduced by buying a pill cutter and found dropping by 5mg at a time and staying on tha dose for a few weeks before dropping again didn't cause me any withdrawal effects at all.
Staying on 40mg doesn't mean you won't get better, but it just might make you feel more spaced out, nauseous etc etc than a lower dose would. It's tricky getting the right dose to suit you.
Your support and advice is very reassuring.
Thanks Xx

¿Qué síntomas tuvo que le hicieron saber que 20 era demasiado para usted?
¿Crees que me quedaría sintiéndome aturdida y mareada o se me pasaría?
That will fade over time xx
Consulta tu Día, porque creo que si lo obtenemos, entonces después de cada aumento.

Me resultaba casi imposible levantarme por las mañanas, estaba deprimida hasta las tardes, tenía temblores en las piernas y episodios de fatiga, largos días acostada en el sofá durmiendo a ratos. Sin apetito y falta de interés en nada.

Sí, realmente es así, especialmente con el TDAH e intentando tomar medicamentos
¿Estás mejor ahora? X
Yes agree with Sparkly, It should wear off, though some people do find they can continue to feel a bit spacey. Again I'm sure that would wear off after even more time. x

I haven't been having such a few good weeks, mornings are the worse, I cud just cry this morning, don't know why I feel crap, I have that knot in my stomach and wishing the day way, just wanting it to be tonight when I'm safe and at home with my family

¿Alguna vez te sentiste así antes de las medicinas? Lo pregunto porque así es exactamente como me sentía antes de reducir mi dosis, aunque nunca había tenido esos sentimientos antes de las medicinas. Me despertaba absolutamente temiendo el día, cada hora parecía una semana. Las cosas solo mejoraban por la tarde. A veces un largo paseo ayudaba, pero simpatizo con cómo te sientes ahora, pero las cosas mejorarán para ti.
Sorry. I don't understand your message.
