[carolf]

HI, I hope someone can help. Ive been taking 20mg cit for 6 years, over the past month Ive been feeling like a have a big grey cloud over me and it wont budge, its making me wonder if the citalopram becomes ineffective after this long taking it or if I need to increase the does. Any advice would be appreciated please as its a slippery slope and I want to do what I can to help myself.
thank you

Hiyer Carol, I've come on your thread to firstly to bump it back up.....before it moves too far down the 'recent posts' page. I don't know much about citalopram, having never taken it, but know two people who do. I think your dose is the starting dose, am I right? So, you have the option to go back to the prescriber and consider increasing, or a change of medication. I am wondering though, has anything changed in your life? Have your hormones changed? Is there anything else you can pinpoint?

I have heard of anti-depressant tolerance, so I would have thought it a possibility.
