How long have you been on it? and is it working?
No one? :huh:
Hi Miniminx
Just reading through your posts - doesn't appear anyone is on the 200mg - tbh that does sound a very high dose - normally 100mg is the average dose if you like - then 150mg. Is you anxiety still bad?
This will be my 7th week on Citalopram - have developed Gastritis really painful caused by the anxiety/acidity in my stomach! so taking Omeprazole to counter act that. If that was to go away would feel better! Got to give at least 12 weeks as they ages to work - upping to 40mg tomorrow! Hoping it doesn't upset the stomach.
Speak to you soon

hi im on 150mg but levelling out now i hope........was just curious if anyone was on a higher dose...
I went up to 150mg for a month or so but I felt no different (apart from extra side effects) so went back down to 100mg.
how ya doing minimix ? not heard from you for ages
A friend of mine on 200mg has been for years and doing fine she did say to me took a while to get there as tried cit first
I've been on 200mg for a while now. I take 100mg 2 times a day. It was working well but not for the past month or two, this might not be due to a deficiency of the drug/dosage though.
hi im on 50mg, been on it for 6 days now, im struggling with anxiety more so now, but reading some of the other posts this seems normal to begin with! stupidly i went out and had a skinful last night and today has been awful! ive had terrible anxiety and a panic attack! has anyone else experienced this?
im on 100mg and it works completely for the panic attacks, but my mood is not normal, although probably better when i get down than it would be.. xxx
how long you been on them? i on 150 for eight weeks. still not fully better.
Ive been on 200mg for about 4 months, prior to that was on 100mg for about a year and Citalopram for a couple of years before then.
In truth I do not feel any real benefit but I am certain if I came off them would see a detrimental difference (I did this with Citalopram before and came as close to death as I ever have and constant weeping and sadness)
I do feel as if I am grinding my teeth all the time, picking my nails, (toes and fingers) awful habit, I have had a few weepy episodes recently. I dont have any sexual interest of any sort due to the side effect of not being able to produce, usually around 11pm every night my body temperature becomes hot an have to change into shorts as Im sweating so much, very weird. I have also become even more reclusive and do not want any contact with the outside world.
Its an awful drug to be on and like many I feel totally trapped on this, especially 200mg
I have a personality disorder/anger issues and many years of manic depression, in truth I rarely feel upbeat on them but the same could be said for all previous medication.
they have just ip mine to 200 as i.felt i wasn't quite there. i am very nervous side effects and.whether and.hoping it will help. good feedback be great i.hope x
hi minimix i know its a bit further on in time but i take 200 mg and have done for around 9 month or longer my mood is nearly perfect only issue i have now is very high stress. docs gave me low does of trazadone to soon to se if it works yet, and doctor says to keep on Sertraline its a shame that i am on max dose not sure if its this that's causing my high stress an anxiety I dont think it is its down to life things hope this might help your self or someone else out
