I've been taking 5mg's of Cipralex for 37 days now and have been told to up to 10mg's now. 5mg's seemed to be taking away my day time anxiety up until this week but I am getting some nervousness during the day now though don't know if I am building myself up about increasing my doseage as I am very sensitive to ssri's and only started out on 2-50mg's for 9 days then moved up to 5mg's which wasn't so bad at all. I'm now trying to go up in another half tablet hopefully to start the full 10mgs next week.
Those of you who switched to 10, did you find this took away anxiety pretty quickly, I know every one is different? Or did you get side effects and see a gradual difference?
I was on regular Citalopram 3 times and it's always when I upped from 10mg's to 20mg's that I had panic attacks, though Cipralex does list panic attacks as been a very rare side efect I know on the accompanying leaflet.
