Hi all. I was prescribed Citalopram 4 days ago (20mg) because I suffer from severe anxiety and panic attack. Things have gone from bad to worse since starting on it, but I know this is quite normal when starting on Citalopram.
I went to my GP today to tell him about it and he advised to take only half tablet (10mg) for a few days until the anxiety settles a bit and then go back up to 20mg.
Does this make sense or will it mean that the med won't be as effective? Should I soldier on and keep taking the 20mg per day?
Many thanks.
