depression/anxiety returning should i increase my dose
Posted , 4 users are following.
i started taking citalopram for about a year and a bit now, have been on 20mg since the start, i doing great with it. i felt my normal self again untill about a week ago when i felt just out of know where the sadness and depression started creeping back. im guessing it may have to due to the fact that i missed my dose for 5 straight days after i did surgery on my nose about 3 weeks ago but still.
im wondering should i just continue taking my 20mg or should i talk to my gp about maybe increasing the dosage to 30 mg. thanks

In the meantime, make a strong effort to not acknowledge that the depression is there. Don't give it any power.
I hope this helps.

I'll respond again soon with what I discovered. But keep in mind, the reason is different for everyone

Id say that this is because you missed your dose for 5 days and you need to stabilise again on that dose. I'm not a doctor though it it could well be because you missed your dose.

Suspect it is still an effect from missing your dose for 5 days - will take some time to even it out in your system again. Check with your doc, but missing 5 days can really throw things out of whack.
Best,
