4 years on 10mg of citalopram

Posted , 3 users are following.

I have been on 10mg citalopram for 4 years now, and I feel like I might need to go to 20mg or maybe try to get off of them, but I am now sure. I feel like they maybe mess my memory, but I am very stressed at the moment and am having anxiety while still on them and having to take xanex also. Has anyone else been in this situation? I feel like a crazy person 😦

    hi i started off on cit about 5 years ago and was on 20mg,

    prob since end of last year i started to feel really down again just out of nowhere, kept making excuses and putting it down to other things such as xmas, holiday blues, periods, wasnt till last week i finally phoned my dr and explained to him, he decided to change me to Fluoxetine, took down my cit to 10mg for a few days then nothing all weekend and today i started my new ones.

    maybe its time for you to change on to a different kind x

    Sounds like you may need to up your dose. I sometimes think I have memory issues too. But I thinking yours just might be the anxiety talking.
