Bit worried

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.

Do not play about on your dosage as that can play on your body and don't miss any dosage as your body may think you are stopping it and redrawal symptoms may come into play.

I went from 20-30-40 it's fine. 40 seems more effective. Much less noticable dips in mood and anxiety. Still have random brain fog but it's nowhere near as bad as it was.

since November. I don't know if it was the drug or the depression but I did feel really quite fatigued for a while but that has cleared up since I realised I now have more control of my mind. It's given me a bit more mental space to think things true which has been extremely useful. Just trying to get consistent sleep now
tricky with small children though lol.

I totally know what u mean when I was on 20and 30 I felt like that but on 40 I feel a lot more in control except for eating 😂 too and sometimes a bit disorantated but with a small baby of 7 months now he's go go go I find am able to enjoy being out and about without the doom x good luck with sleep
