12 weeks on 10mg Citalopram, 6 weeks on 20mg, is it normal to still get off days?

Posted , 2 users are following.

I've been on Citalopram since beginning of May. 10mg for 12 weeks, had a dip and GP increased to 20mg. Been taking the 20mg 6 weeks today, had some really good weeks, where I've seen my old self again, but still a bit up and down some days. Is this normal? I hate it when I dip after feeling so well 😡 D x
