Yes citalopram again!

[Two heads]

I have been taking citalopram for three and a half months and up entill 2wks ago all so i have been feeling rubbish once again!Im on 15mg and upping this to 20mg tomorrow.
Any ideas why it may not be working?
Do you think maybe its because im on a low dose still?I have no side affects all anything like that ,im just on edge again and i had a panick attack when i was out last night.I keep getting those horrible waves again and they really p..ss me off.I was just starting to think i had almost beat this monster.Anyone else had these probs with this med?
Thanksxxx

Hi Two heads, i took this 4 years ago as you know, it took a month to kick in but i was on 20mg a day right from the word go.. don't know if that helps you.

Hi two heads, I am on 5mg at the mo and am upping it to 10mg tues, I will gradually up it to 20mg but like you hate taking meds, but if needs must we may need to up our meds wether we like it or not. You are not alone.

Best wishes,
