HI all,

Advice needed, ive been on citalopram 7 weeks, 2 weeks on 10 mg & 5 on 20 mg, have been taken due to anxiety in perimenopause & the anxiety was cripling & intrusive thoughts, i have just got back from a weeks goluday, that was practically anxiety free, to my amazement & had a great 10 days on the trot, with the odd bit of anxiety, but nothing bad, just been doing gardeneing, & felt a rush of the horrible sensations, i wonder wether to keep on 20 , as its obviously starting to work or to up to 30 mg , im wondering after 7 weeks if i can expect any further improvement ? advice please
