Not improving at 5 weeks on citalopram

Posted , 7 users are following.

Never seem get much response on here but here gies. Nearly 5 weeks on citalopram started on 5mg gradually increased to 10mg 3 days ago as sensitive to meds. For intrusive thoughts due to zopiclone withdrawal. Did briefly go on it before then tried sertraline which has given me ocd checking type symptoms as well. Just felt really depressed last couple days whether it's the lockdown or adjusting to different dose don't know. About week ago did have couple days didnt feel too bad, but everything feels hopeless again now. The OCD horrible tried CBT, book, therapy you name it was really hoping meds would help. Cant go higher than 20 anyway because of age limit.

    I'm sure once this pandemic is under control we will all start to feel better. Could be as you have increased the dose & will need time to adjust to it?

    Yes I think it's changing the dose had really awful couple of days but only a week into changing the dose so think it's probably that. Seem remember first couple weeks starting not good.
