I have been on Citalopram 40mg for many years but recently my anxiety got very bad again and my doctor changed my medication to 100mg Sertraline.  At first this really helped but as the weeks go by I am getting more and more depressed again.  I have battled with anxiety, depression and ocd all my life and am feeling pretty low at the moment.  I am wondering if anyone knows how 100mg Sertraline compares with 40mg Citalopram as I think I may need to ask my GP to increase my dose.  Can anyone help please?

      Thanks for your reply Jayne.  This seems to be the same as me, my anxiety and OCD tendencies have improved but my mood has gone right down.  Thanks so much for sharing that with me.  I am going to my GP next week too.  Get well soon.
