Increasing to 20 mg tonight
Posted , 5 users are following.
Hello guys. I've been on citalopram 10 mg for about 8 months. I've been needing an increase for a long time and I just didn't dare. Scared of side effects or feeling numb. I will be starting 20 mg tonight. Wish me luck!

I've been dealing with anxiety most of my life. Im 28 years old and in the last 3 years it's gotten so bad that I had to get on medication. My doctor told me 10 mg isn't Really anything. That 20 mg is the therapeutic dose. They wanted to put me on 20 mg 8 months ago but I didn't dare lol. Hope we both start to feel better

Hi there I had an increase from 20mg to 30 5 weeks 5 days ago. I still get the sever anxiety just don't panic now so, it's working. So now the last step is the anxiety to go. I would wake up with the intense anxiety but not it has switched to 3pm till about 5. So it does get better. I still have the shaky hands, and muscle tension, but the other side effects are gone. So I think every one is different and some people adapt quicker some are slower I seem to be a slow one lol.

Yea my hubby has PTSD from being in the marine in corps in Iraq so he kind of knows what I'm going through. One step at a time is all we can do.
