hey guys,
So I have been on 20mg citalopram for 5 weeks now.
And let me tell you it had made HUGE difference for me i had SEVERE anxiety and constant panic attacks.
For the first 2 weeks it got complelty out of control but i was on 2mg xanax a day to counter act it.
i gradually decreased the xanax to 1.5 then 1 now I am on .5mg a day.
The mornings are still crap but i know thats not going to go overnight!
But during the day and evening I am feeling 80% there!
which is a far cry from where i was anyway!
Anyway my question is , i am still on 0.5mg xanax a day I take one in the morning and it seems to do the trick for the whole day for me.
I have tried to not take it and although the day is 'bearable' i can sometimes feel myself heading towards getting very down with irrational thoughts.
i really dont want to stay on xanax and would love to be off it!
Do you think 30mg may be more beneficial than the 20mg for me ?
im guessing you would know a lot more than me!
and if anyone has switched from 20 to 30 did they see a big difference.
Thank you so much for any responses!!
