    Exclamation 4 weeks into citalopram 20mg

    Hello all,

    Another citalopram update (20 mg), 4 weeks in, I don't really feel strange anymore for the first 2-3 hours after I take citalopram in the morning like I used to, but apart from that, my appetite still hasn't returned and I still don't wake up in the morning with that drive and that feeling of happiness or that I want to do much at all.

    Anyway I just have to keep going. I will see the GP in 2 weeks so I can get a new batch of citalopram, I might also ask him if I should increase dosage to 40 mg.

    Not sure, maybe I should just carry on taking the 20mg for 3 months and then reassess.

    Anyway, that's it. Good luck to anyone else who is on the same journey.

    Good luck with the cit journey - it sounds like there are some positive but limited improvements.

    Maybe an increase to 40 mg may improve things - if so, good luck.

    Hi Victor,
    It's been 4 weeks and 3 days for me.
    My apetite has returned but I am still having problems with hot flashes. They are bad, it feels like my skin is badly sunburnt. I experience them a lot at night and they keep me up. Also every night I wake up after only 4 hours of sleep.
    I too feel down in the mornings. It takes me forever to get going.
    I am also on 20mg and I am unsure of whether I should up the dose.
    I worry that increasing it will exacerbate the hot flashes and insomnia.
    I still have anxiety but I think it is due to the hot flashes and lack of sleep.
    I don't know what to do....
