Don't worry I won't OD.
I've decided to increase my tabs and make an appointment for the docs next to tell what I've done.
Been taking 20mg for about 6 months but feel I need a bit more at times.
Can't seem to smile much anymore
Cut a tab in 4's and will take one of those for 8days and then increase it to 30mg. If I take it slowly I won't get huge side effects.
Still get anxious at times when I'm alone and I'm even worse when alone in the evening. Maybe its just me and I'll never get over it but will take all the help I can get in any shape or form.
Need to keep a straight head to work it all out

Citalopram hydrobromide has a wide margin of safety in overdose. Cases of overdoses involved the ingestion of citalopram either alone or in combination with other drugs and/or alcohol. In clinical trials, with overdoses of citalopram ranging from 180 mg to 2000 mg, all patients recovered. One patient, ingesting over 1500 mg citalopram, had reversible ECG abnormalities, the most important of which was prolongation of QTc.
Of the cases reported postmarketing, six were fatal. The doses of citalopram in these patients ranged from 840 mg to 1960 mg. All but one of these patients had concomitant drugs and/or alcohol. Serum levels of citalopram in patients who ingested 2000 mg, 4000 mg and 5200 mg of the drug were 2900 ng/mL, 3800 ng/mL and 10,040 ng/mL citalopram, respectively. All these patients recovered. Three fatal cases of serotonin syndrome have been reported in patients who took overdoses of moclobemide (Manerix) and citalopram. The plasma concentrations of moclobemide were between 16 and 90 mg/L (therapeutic range: 1 to 3 mg/L) and those of citalopram between 0.3 and 1.7 mg (therapeutic concentration: 0.3 mg/L). This indicates that a relatively low dose of citalopram, given with an overdose of moclobemide represents a serious risk for the patient.
Symptoms most often accompanying citalopram overdose included dizziness, sweating, nausea, vomiting, tremor, and somnolence. In more rare cases, observed symptoms included confusion, loss of consciousness, convulsions, coma, sinus tachycardia, cyanosis, hyperventilation and rhabdomyolysis.[/quote:890b8505d7]
