It should definitely be increased to 20mg. Taking ADs at sub, or borderline therapeutic doses for extended periods can increase the risk of the med pooping-out as there may be repeated interruptions to the neurogenesis mechanism by with ADs work if plasma levels drop to below that required to sustain the process.
Re: Citalopram Diary 3rd round
5 weeks
Seen the doc on Monday , she was against increasing my dose to 20mg, she wants me to concentrate more on relaxation etc as tablets are no answer to my anxiety problems, which I guess she is right about.
So I will just stick to 10mg for now, I have some group therapy coming up in February as well and she said we can review again in 3 months time.
I feel bit more calmer at the moment , sleep is still hit & miss , last night I slept quite well but most nights I m up a lot.
No stomach issues apart from more wind in my stomach , lot of rumbling & noises .
Heightened anxiety has also settled now.
Other side effects mainly my sex drive has gone to nada, but I remember that got better eventually too.
