20mg > 30mg

[CameronG]

Having been on 20 mg around 6 months now, I did suggest to my GP coming off all together but he wanta to try push em up, 1st off, is there likely to be any benefits & secondly Any side effects, all advice welcome be it positive or negative

Hi Cameron, I did the rise from 20 to 30mg recently, for me it worked wonders, I am now feeling great on 30! For me, the increase from 20 to 30 had minimal side effects (very slight sleep disturbance but that was it). My increase from 10 to 20mg was far worse.

Are you feeling good on 20mg? Or we're you thinking of coming off the citalopram because it's not working? If you are feeling well on 20 I would question going up unnecessarily....

Hope that helps for you :)

Thanks for the response, I was thinkin of coming off as there not workin at all, doing nothing for me! You think they'll work on the increase? What was the reason for increasing yours

[little scientist]

Hi Cameron

Yes the reason for increasing to 30 was because 20 was not working for me (it had done on previous occasions but not this time). And for me, it has done the trick. You can go up to 40mg on this if needs be, and for some people that may be what is required :)
