View Full Version : Think this might be my fault
Hi guys, i need some reassurance, i was getting on quite well taking 50mg citalopram, but still had some problems, so i upped my dose to 60mg, after nearly 3 weeks of feeling worse, i put it back down to 50mg on friday, the thing is i have flu like symptoms, and feel i m going backwards, do you think it is because i have messed about with the dose??? just need some advice, thanks. :hugs:

That is quite a high dose - is this what the doc recommended?
Hi nicola, yes the last time i saw my phyciatrist i was taking 50mg on his advice, but was told i could go to 60 if needed, i see him again on the 23rd may, so hopefully he will be able to help.

I would say that with each increase and decrease of the dose you are going to feel worse for a few weeks maybe so it is probably that.
Are you getting any CBT help at the same time as being on this medication?
You are experiencing withdrwals from going down to 50mg ..Dont worry it will pass .Drink plenty of water based drinks it will help .Also get a good nights sleep .T/c Sue x
