I switched to celexa about a month ago. It was a very rough change with all the side effects & heightened anxiety. I just seemed to be leveling out & now have had some major stress the last 2 weeks. I'm backsliding & thinking 20mg not enough. However I'm really scared to increase to 30 & go thru horrible side effects again. Don't know if can take it with everything going on.
Hi Hidi I feel so sorry for you because I also suffer this horrible Illness, have you spoken to the doctor about increasing your dose maybe the side effects wont be as bad. or try wait till your stress levels come down and see how you feel. sorry if im not much help but sometimes it helps just to know there's people out there and you are not alone with this.
How long do u feel u have been going back for?
I did increase to 40 mg as doc prescribed. I was very nervous about side effects, but it's been 3 weeks & not too bad. Thank God! I went through 2 weeks of hell when I first went on citalopram. However, this week I'm struggling more. Still not as bad but frustrating. Not sure if this is the right med for me. Anyone else increase & how long take to know if will be better? I was on 20mg for about 6 weeks before increased to 40.
