Suddenly

I have been on citalopram for a few months, dec 23 till now april 8. Have had a pretty tough go the first 2 weeks with the side effects. Did a few days at 5 then went to 10mg and after a few days had to drop tp 5 again because the effects were to bad. Was not to bad after that except not sleeping and sweating for a while and even those went away by about week 3.

Anyways the sleep thing came back and the panic and sweating did a little so i went to 7.5 and over the months of small increases and the same patterns i have made it to 15mg for a few weeks and then 20mg for almost 4 weeks. I feel good for 3 weeks then get panic and sweats ect so i go up a bit, sleep has not been good and tried a few things the docs gave me. So about week 3.5 after my increase to 20mg i felt really aweful, sweating a ton, panic, head cloudyness, headaches galore. The doctor said just stick it out at this dose for 3 more weeks. I feel like maybe i should step back a bit and i do understand it can take months to even out when increases happen. I just find it odd id just start sweating bucket loads and feeling so bad like that after a fairly good run and especially so late after the increase. been feeling like this day 4 now. the last few days i have been just laying in bed hoping ill feel better.
