Hi everyone. I've been on Citalopram 10mg for four weeks.

I had anxiety and agoraphobia previously for at least six years and never took anything.

I started breaking down so bit the bullet.

I have noticed some improvements and had all the idea effects for a while

My problem is i still fee quite low on energy. I get the odd sprout here and there. I wonder whether i need to increase. I am quite sensitive to medication though.

Thanks in advance

    Hi, talk to your doctor. I was prescribed 10 mg for a week then 20 MG. I am just starting week 4. Side effects pretty rough when I went from 10 to 20 but not too unbearable. Still feel fluish and just generally unwell, lousy appetite, anxiety, low energy. Waiting to turn the corner and start to feel some positive effects.

    BTW I am female and weigh about 115 pounds never taken anything prior to this drug except aspirin etc. I think 20 MG is the low end of a therapeutic dose. However others on this forum are well informed to provide good info.

    Good luck!
