How did that go, John? Any increase in side-effects severity?
I will give this new regime another week or two but if it does not improve I will have to give up/switch antidepressants.
Citalopram is one of the two SSRIs considered to be least likely to trigger insomnia, but the other is paroxetine, so there are no guarantees. It comes down to how well a med meshes with individual biology. One of the TCAs may be a better bet.
How is the slow dose increase going?
