Citalopram To Escitalopram help
Hi guys.
Without repeating myself too much, started Escitalopram when I was 17, then about 6 years later it got changed to Citalopram (cost cutting measures!) didn't notice anything, stayed on the SSRI till I was 28.
Stopped taking Cit, then a few months later had a massive out of the blue mental breakdown. Came back on the Citalopram but over 2 months in and it clearly wasn't working. I asked to be put on Escitalopram.
Only on day 2 but I expected a bit more of a smooth transition between the medications. I'm really struggling with the side effects all over again as I was when I started taking Citalopram over 2 months ago.
On the same dosage (20mg Cit to 10mg Escit)
Is this normal? Can I hear other peoples stories of changing over? Have you all suffered side effects to start with or not at all??
I feel like ripping all my hair out as I'm getting worse!
Steven
