Hiya, I'm not new to citalopram at all. I started my third round last December after a depressive spell over winter and things seemed to improve over the last few months. However, I have recently had a really stressful event with my estranged brother (who has antisocial/ narcissistic borderline personality disorder and who made my life hell as I was growing up) getting into contact amd threatening me and my husband. He has since apologised but the damage has been done. I've been so upset and anxious, as my brother isn't so unpredictable and prone to violence. He doesn't know where I live but I'm scared he'll find out. My anxiety has gone sky and I'm having all these paranoid thoughts. My brother is a law unto himself and has made me so miserable. I partly blame him and partly my anxiety. I'm finding it hard to cope. Not sure whether I need to increase my dose or just try and let go of the situation. My ruminations and catastrophic thinking is driving me mad!

I'm so sorry to hear of your past struggles, I would go up a dose if I were you, then you will be more happier & determined to let go of the situation you are in, at this moment you seem to be overthinking things and causing more anxious feelings that you can't help, go up a dose, much love X chris

Dont increase your dose without consulting your doctor first..Additionally it would be well worth speaking to a psychologist about your thoughts as a good professional can assist you to modify your thoughts to become more rational and this will help the anxiety reaction. Any increase in meds can give you increased anxiety until you adjust.
Be kind to yourself and hope you feel better soon.
