Hello all, i have been taking 10mg since september buy recently in the last 2 weeks raised it so to ease into it the doc told me to alternate between 10mg and 20mg each day. But i have been getting odd side effects since raising the dose i can literally go through every emotion in a day the past few days been bursting into tears and getting upset over something so trivial. I also noticed i been over spending money to the point of not realizing hoe much im spending?! Is this normal? Anyone else had the same ?
not sure why your doc is alternating it. I have found any changes to the dosage takes time for side effects to settle down, and for full efficacy to be reached (weeks). I look at is as the body is adjusting to new levels.
Have blown the overdraft when not feeling right. Just go into a world of my own.
must be the retail therapy effect as well. Tends to be worse this time of year :-)
Hi, they are alternating the dose because when i started to take the 20mg everyday i was feeling very spaced out and not myself. But the last week i been feeling all over the place happy, sad and angry all in one day.
What does are u on? And has citalopram made u overspend?
i am trying to come off them or cutback. currently on 10mg last month.
Have had an overspend, been up and down but Cit has helped mr overall.
usually takes time to settle down. Just remember side effects drop away and positives then happen.
took me avout 6 weeks to work and longer for side effects to reduce
Im wondering whether to cut down to 10 or to continue taking the 20s havent really been on them that long to see anything
speak to doctor, as said takes time
been on 20 for 3 years. They work well for me
Yes i will give it another month or so a friend recommended fluoxetine
