How long to stay on same dose?

Posted , 2 users are following.

Just started on 10mg citalopram, previously on it for couple months but stopped because affected hair. Been on sertraline but swapping back as made me feel awful. Doctor said to increase after 3 or 4 Weeks if don'T improve but think that's too soon? He suggested going on escitalopram but figure better not add something else into the mix do others agree?

      Couple of days ago. That's what I thought think I'm better on lower doses the sertraline did slightly improve when halved dose. Have been feeling bit nauseous which got last time . But last time he said to stop everything for a week which think increased withdrawal.
