Increase from 5 mg to 10 mg

Hey guys. I’ve been taking 5 mg Celexa for a about a week and a half and last night my doctor told me to up my dose to 10 mg which I did. I had pretty bad side effects. I had really bad nausea and hot flashes and felt like fainting. I also still have body aches and bad diarrhea. Nurse told me to keep taking the 10 mg but I don’t want too cause I’m scared to go through that again. Anyone had similar experiences? How long did the bad diarrhea last?

SSRI's alot of the time you feel worse before better. It can take a few weeks. Don't ever just stop cold turkey. If you ever decide to want to get off, look up Ann Blayk-Tracy and the proper tapering which is no more than 3-5% every 2-4 week's. Educate yourself on SSRI's all you can.
Cognitive behavioral therapy is very helpful as well as exercise, some suppliments such as magnesium Glycinate or theonate. Read up on magnesium deficiency also.
