Hi All
Long time anxiety sufferer here. My last major bout of panic and anxiety was almost 5 years ago during a period of not being on SSRI's. I then started taking Citalopram 10mg and felt much better (after 6-8 weeks).
I'm still on the 10mg but am having a new wave of panic and anxiety and there is a huge amount of stress in my life.
EDIT: I just realised that I have been on 20mg for the past few years so I would be going up to 30 or 40mg...
Some questions for you all:
1. Do you think I would benefit from going from 10mg to 20mg?
2. How long does it take to help? Is it like starting from scratch?
3. I don't think I had side effects when I started on the 10mg, does that mean I should be ok going to 20mg?
Thanks all. It's been a long time since I posted here but I'm glad this amazing site is still around.
