Increasing celexa from 20 mg to 40mg
Posted , 3 users are following.
this is the first time i have ever used a site like this and i need some advice. last november i had a stroke, and quit smoking cold turkey and started back on celexa 20mg all at the same time. needless to say i was a mess. I SURVIVED! 6 months later i started to get some feeling of anxiety and just not feeling like my self so the Dr wants to increase my dose to 40 mg. i am terrified to go through the side effects again. can anyone tell me if the effects will be like when i started?

medication’s work differently for everybody but if you’ve already been on the medication, I wouldn’t think that the side effects would be like when you first started. Your body most likely got used to the medication by now. Even if you have some mild side effects, they should eventually even out and probably wouldn’t take that long to do that. If you want a professional opinion about your question, you can always call and speak with a pharmacist. They know these medication’s very well. hope your anxiety reduces!

Hi. i had awful side effects when i started on 20mg, i almost didn't carry on with it. however when i moved up to 40mg i only had mild side effects for a few days, mostly nausea which eased quite quickly and i was really glad i increased.
wishing you all the best
