Anyone been successfully on Citalopram a Second Time??
Posted , 8 users are following.
I'm still bound to go back on Citalopram 10mg. Still really scared of the start up side effects again. But reading every thread of someone getting back on ends up in them just switching over to something else. It's something I don't want to have to do! I was previously on Citalopram for 6-7 months starting at 20mg and going up to 30mg and tapered down to 10 mg and just went off from there and spiraled down again. I guess I just need some reassurance?

Thank you for your reply, I called my doc last week and told him I was very nervous about changing meds so he said I cld go up to 30mg of cit, which I am also very nervous about doing, in the meantime I got my bloods checked and I am very deficint in vitamin b12 and vit D.. I have started on b12 injections an D vitamins so I am hoping this will help, my anxiety has eased a bit but I am still not myself and on edge not sure what to do will upping dose help?? Nervous of side effects just over 6 wks on 20mg now x

​I was first on cit in 2012 and stayed on them till the following April, decided I wanted to come off of them and by the November had got down to 5mg but I felt things weren't right so my Gp said to go back to 10 then 20, it seemed to take at least 6 weeks before I felt it was working but it was worth it, I suppose the second time around and as I hadn't come off of them completely I felt it should work quicker but it didn't, I am glad I stuck with it though as it was good after the 6 weeks, this year I have been tapering off again and have been off completely of for the last 5 weeks, so far so good. Hope all goes well for you.
