I have taken Citalopram for 15 years now following a period of anxiety.
During that period all it took was 10mg to be effective.
I took it for a year or so, came off then went back on it.
My anxiety flares up directly as a result of stress, and since being back on it there have been periods where the Citalopram has not stopped periods of intense anxiety. I have been up to 70mg on it before.
I'm currently experiencing shocking anxiety as a result of a build up of stress over 18 months or so.
Question is, has anyone else been on it this long and found that it can become ineffective?
I'm torn between carrying on or seeing if something else will work better though I'm not too keen on tapering down to 20mg!
