Help! Feel Crap After Increasing Citalopram

[Cassie]

I'm glad i read this thread. I've been feeling really low for the past couple of days myself after increasing Venlafaxine a week ago.

I know its the increase causing this but you can't help but worry. I felt really good at the end of last week and now i'm the total opposite.

Hi

I cant believe i still feel crap after increasing from 5mg to 10mg. Iv been on 10mg before and felt fine. Iv been on 20mg for a while and felt fine.

I cut down to 5mg a couple of months ago and was doing really well. Then i got burgled and started to get my anxiety back. I deceided to go up to 10mg a couple of weeks ago but they are making me feel like crap.

I feel so tired, sick, light headed, spaced out etc. Some days are worse than others but everyday i have at least one symptom.

I just dont understand how this time 10mg is making me feel so bad. Its not even a high dose, and up until a few months ago i was on them for at least 6 months and felt ok

I feel like coming off them altogether, surely i cant feel any worse, but i know that would be a silly thing to do

love mandie x
