Ive been on and off citalopram for about 6 years!
Over the last 6 months i've been from 20mg onto 40mg, but now back down to 20mg as i manage my anxiety with cbt.
The side effects of citalopram for me can range from feeling nausea,loss of appetite,increased libido (and other sexual changes)...but like yourself when i changed to a higher dose or to a lower dose i had mood swings, sleeping problems, heightened anxiety ( felt worse ) but after a week the body adjusts to the changes. Hang on for a few more days, you will start to feel better.
