hi folks , i need a bit of help and advice here from those of you who know about CITALOPRAM.
My anxiety reared its ugly head about 5 weeks ago but as i had some citalopram in the house i decided to start taking them at 40mg per day..obviously way too much and the side effects have been absolutely awful! !!! I saw my gp who told me along with those of you on here, that 40mg is way too high for a starting dose. So as from 10 days ago ive been on just 20mg. Until two days ago was feeling good , better , happier. BUT! i noted that when i woke i wasnt waking the anxiety as i had been before , but 2 hours after taking the citalopram i was anxious, not much and it did wear off but it was there non the less.. TODAY! i have woken feeling edgey and my mind was a little busy when i woke. ya know the story guys dont you, thinking of things to worry about etc etc..feeling a little scared and dont know why.so what id like to ask is do you think i should up my dose to 30mg? is the 20mg not enough anymore? any help appreciated.........i dont see my doc for two weeks now...and i dont want the anxiety to grab a hold of me again...Thanks guys xxx
