6 month of 10 mg
Posted , 2 users are following.
Originally prescribed 20 mg Citalopram 6 months ago. started at 10mg and felt ok, just not great. Am going to increase to 15 mg from tomorrow and 20mg next week. Was wondering how long side effects will last as they were not fun to begin with. Hope this starts working soon as I am feeling in a bit of a funk. I am a real ninny when it comes to meds, so please give me the good news

i had every side effect imaginable when i first started citalopram and thought i would get them all again with the increase. This was not the case at all. Upon increasing I got a little bit dizzy and retched a bit.The intensity was nothing like the side effects you get when first starting.
You may not get any at all as you are increasing slowly. I went from 10 to 20 whereas you are doing it nicely eg 10 15 20
Please let me know how you get on xxx
god bless

I'm on 15mg mirtazapine and it's now 4 days and I'm feeling so much better. I still take 10mg citalopram too which I will stop next week.
I felt immediate effects after day one! But now day 4 so much better! How are you doing? X

citalopram works wonders for loads of people. Each time you increase you are having to start again in a way to enable your system / brain to balance the new dose. Averaging approx six to eight weeks to get the full effect.
i found when increasing on cit i would feel some benefit around the two week mark.
Please keep me posted
wishing you well Lee xxx

Please keep me updated. Dont forget plenty of water and if you can get yourself high strength omega 3 capsules they really help your recovery.
