Hi, after a rough few weeks and feeling more and more anxious each day, Im going to increase my dose from 20mg to 30mg, will the side efefcts be as bad as the first time i started taking Citalopram (about 12 years ago) or are they a bit less as Im already taking 20mg a day.

Have you discussed this with your GP? You should, imho.

You may, or may not experience some side-effects. It is by no means a given. If they do occur they are usually both less severe and shorter lived than when first taking an AD.
