Bit worried
Posted , 6 users are following.
Hi guys am new here
I started (citph) in Dec had a baby in August hit rock bottom with postnatal depression so went on to start the medication am so glad that I did I started on 10mg then up to 20 then out of the blue the cracks started to appear so doctor put me up to 30 nothing happened seemed I was stuck then at 35mg back to feeling better
What concerns me is in a short space of time I've gone up quite a bit and I am terrified after reading an article that the maximum dose of citphm is 40mg so what happens if that stops working like 20mg.

I wonder what happens then why we need more and why does it feel like it's no longer effective. So many questions not enough time 😂😂
Thanks for replying lois

Hiya, I've been on 40mg before then dropped to 20mg 7 years ago, 4 weeks ago I went back up to 40mg wish I had done it gradually but I suppose I got all the nasty side effects over and done with in one go 😀

Hi sheltisha I didn't have any side effects really to be honest am on 40 now and I feel good
It just freaked me out to go up so high after only a couple of months. I was worried its one of those tablets u have to keep putting up and up
U must be very strong just to take it straight in a 40

I had hit rock bottom with anxiety and to be honest I would of taken anything at the time lol,, I'm glad u didn't get any side effects. It's funny as when I went to 40 before I didn't get side effects either but this time I did. To be fair this time round when on 20 I did forget to take my meds multiple times missing 3 days every week most probably why I slipped and got side effects but all good now 😁

It's funny isn't it on 20 had side effects and 30. 40 I feel normal lol says a lot 😂 😂
What are u like missing tablets I've been terrified to miss any incase I have a complete melt down.
Did u get hungry? I've noticed I am a lot more interested in cakes and chocolate 🍫 since starting this medicine I've got to some how get it together before I end up looking like a dairy milk bar 😂 how's ur anxiety now?
