Hi everyone, i asked for my meds to be upped yesterday as my anxiety has felt through the roof the past week, it really has crept right back in unfortunately :-( Anyway, I was on 20mg Citalopram, when i came out of the doctors i noticed on the prescription it said 40mg Citalopram!!?!! Why not 30mg??!! She also prescribed me some more Diazepam 2mg (i take these only if i feel very panicky and to help me sleep sometimes too if im having a bad night, i refuse to take them regularly because of possible addiction).
Anyway, so basically im worried about the sudden 20mg jump up with my Citalopram, mainly because of the side effects and possible heightened anxiety???? What can I expect with the 40mg and will the side effects be bad?? Im asking this because I personally think a 20mg rise is quite alot for my body to take so suddenly??!! What do u all think??? Ive only had anxiety for 5months, and have only been on Citalopram for 3 months.. im just worried its guna mess with my head a bit too much!!
I had extremely bad heightened anxiety for 2 weeks after i started Citalopram and it really was bad to the point where i packed my bags for the mental institute!! So i just feel really scared about the 40mg... maybe some reassurance is needed from anyone who has maybe been in the same situation???? Hope u can help... im going through such a bad time, i rly do think ive got MS at the moment and cant get it out of my mind :-(
Thanks everyone your all stars on here :) x
