hi
my doc advised upping dose to 30mg as 20mg hasnt so far helped me. should I persevere? so many people say different things! it's for anxiety and ocd/obsessive thoughts. Any idea on how long it would take for 30mg to work if I did increase?
thanks

from my experience, if this is your first time on celexa I don't think 6 weeks is long enough to judge. 20mg is very low but it does help at that level. I would say 8 weeks for you notice slight improvement and a full 12 weeks to evaluate. Your body will adjust you just need patience.
