Hi there all
I have been on 20mg citalopram for the last 6 weeks following my latest brush with HA/depression. After about 4 weeks i started to feel a little better but the last week or so i felt like i wasnt getting anywhere. When i saw my doc today she upped to 40mg - the thing is i am worried about upping meds - i dont know whether to increase dose - 40 seems like a lot??? but i dont really know if it is. i am analysing again - going on internet reading up on drugs and it scares me!
I am trying to be calm and optimistic! i am also gonna get counselling - i have avoided this for years ( i have had probs since 2007)cos it scares me but i feel enough ive got to do something! i dont think meds alone will sort me out? or will they?
The thing is when i have been on meds in the past and started to feel better i have decided to stop them myself thinking that i dont need them anymore then it all starts again until i get so scared i go to doc and do it all over again - im useless!
Sorry for rambling:blush:
