    upping dose

    I am on 30mg of citalopram and have to say it is helping.I think myself I need to be on 40mg.I went to the doctor the other day and she said I was on a high dose at 30mg and was reluctant to up it.

    She suggested I ring my psychiatrists secretary and make an appointment with her.I rang and was told the soonest appointment would be 4/5 weeks away.i dont knoe what to do.any suggestions please?

    Re: upping dose

    hi hun

    im on 30mg of citalopram and am concerned that my meds dont seem as efficient as the previous ones.

    however, i only see my psychiatrist once a month and my doc follows her advice.

    i feel i just have to wait and see next visit.

    for me altering with my meds dose before i saw her would not give the hospital a true picture of their efficiency

    love

    milly xx

    I'm now on 60mg a day too and am now beginning to feel much better and soooooo much positive. If it helps, don't worry about the dosage, different people need different doses I guess

    thanks for the replies.I know I need extra.Its my GP that says 30mg is enough to be on.It can take so long to see a psychiatrist here.
