    Restarting advice

    I'm due to restart cit on sat... Since I've been on it before will I get the start up issues? I actually can't remember having them the first time around?

    Hi...It's hard to say as everyone is different. You may or may not get start up side effect. Keep us all updated and let us know how you are doing.

    How long have you been off the Cit. Did you restart them already? What mg are you starting on?

    Thanks for the reply hun!

    I've been off them about 2-3 month now and was on 30mg of cit (as well as 45mg of mirt) for around 3 years. I can't remember any start up effects last time!

    They are starting me on 20mg take my first one sat night x

    Maybe start out with 10mg for a few days then up it to the 20mg depending on how you feel. As Mojo said we are all here to help and support you.

    Hi, after my carry on with dosage changes I'd always say take it slowly. My dr was trying to get me to reduce my dose, this would be her 7th attempt at fiddling with my dosage. Don't let anyone push you into doing things fast, my dr did and I'm suffering for it now. Good luck!

    Re: Restarting advice

    Well they have messed my meds around so much recently I've lost a lot of confidence now... I'm trying to remember back when I started cit and from my posts on here can't find any massive start up side effects but I was also already in mirtazapine at the time starting to worry myself now ��

    Re: Restarting advice

    If it worked once then you should respond well a second time but if you don't then there are always different routes to go down. I've been on cit for years but I fear it may have lost its efficiency. Like you I've lost faith in my dr as I feel her negligence has made matters worse for me. Did they have you on different meds?
