Re: 2.5mgs of Citalopram...restarting
It just shows that the one size fits all approach to these meds is flawed. The GP didn't believe me when I said that I had relief from anxiety and OCD thoughts on 5mg of citalopram. If it wasn't for the side effects I would happily have stayed on it.

Ooops!
Probably should not have gloated so much yesterday....have had a pretty low day today...feeling under the weather (if you can get that low!). Headache and upper back pains...back to bed for a couple of hours at lunch time.......damnit!!!

Re: 2.5mgs of Citalopram...restarting
Nicola ......keep going you know you can do it...you support so many others.....so we can all support you too:hugs:
Trish....we are all different in out responses to drugs...because I am so sensitive to drugs I seem to feel the benefits quickly....I would say keep going at your own pace...if you havent had horrible SE's on 7.5mgs i would say go up to the 10mgs.....keep at it.#

Re: 2.5mgs of Citalopram...restarting
Day 7 on 5mgs.......................and I am feeling good. I get spaced out a couple of hours after taking it in the mornings, but it is easily manageable.
The best thing is that I dont wake up in the mornings with "Shit FM" running through my head................know what i mean??!!!:shades:
