Help - can blips last a few weeks

Posted , 5 users are following.

i've increased Cit 5 months ago and got to 10mg a day. for the past 4 weeks i've felt back to square one but late afternoon and evening it tends to ease. i really don't want to increase if it's possible that this is just part of the process. i've been on a maintenance dose of 5mg a day for a few years so I'm very used to Cit but when i increased I went through all the side effects again.

i guess i'm hunting for reassurance again and had hoped to be past this

    Hi

    I was told that upping or downing the Celexa will give you side effects all over again

    so please don't be scared it's normal

    I'm on 5 MG for 9 month now and still go through up and downs with anxiety and thoughts

    stay on 1 does and wait it out amen

    hope this helps you ☺ babsyboo

    hi there

    i agree 100 % with babyboo, im 7 months into a reduction from 20 to 10 mg & im still getting quick flashes of panic & anxiety, i dont know where they come from, i just know i have to sit tight & ride it out.

    Every time you change dose up or down, you go through all the symptoms again!!!!!!

    mine alwsys happen in the evening!!!

    hope your feeling better
