Doseage increase side effects?

[Le456]

Hi
I’ve recently had my dosage increased from 20mg to 30mg and I’m experienceing some side effects most of which I had when I first started using Citalopram, I’m wondering if anyone else has had this one though as it’s worrying me I don’t feel hungry but I never feel full.
I have a tendancy to comfort and boredom eat, it’s really getting me down as I’m putting on weight, but since my dosage increase I don’t feel hungry (which is great) but I’m compelled to eat and never feel full, sometimes I even forget that I’ve eaten. I’m trying so hard to not comfort eat but I get uncontrolable cravings for sugary food. I know it sounds odd and that I’m just making excuses but I really try not to eat bad food but then end up giving in but I’m never satisfied. It’s never happened this bad before and only started up when I increased my dosage. It’s getting me more depressed than I was before.

Welcome to NMP Le, you might find reading this guide on Cit helpful, I've just been reading it now and it does provide useful information.

CITALOPRAM SURVIVAL GUIDE

Everybody seems to have different side effects and to different degrees, I myself have had my appetite reduced somewhat but I'm sure there are others who have had similar SE's to your own and can offer good advice. Even talking to other's going through the first few weeks of using this med can help you get through I think so hope you can find the same sort of help here.

Keep at it Le, it's not easy, nothing worth it ever is
