i have posted many times over the last year regarding citalopram . I settled on 20mg for a while then anxiety came back , knotted stomach and lots of stomach pain . spoke to GP on phone and one doc recommended upping to 40mg . It was awful , Went back to G.P who upped me to 30mg . I've been taking it for 6 days , my legs are tingly and weak and my head has become foggy again , any advise would be appreciated , Thankyou xx

    Like Lorraine said best to get to a dr, it's hard if your got all thoughts and hard to turn them off.

    Have you been sleeping?

      Did your side effects start day one of med increase? I took my first dose without much issue, So I'm kinda hoping it stays that way.....
