Can citalopram stop working ?

[Bornin1969]

Hi !

I have been on citalopram 20 for 13 years, I have a lots of time when i feel really depressed especially 10 days to a week before my periods..I have tried to up the medicine following my gp’s advice but it made me feel sick. My question is : could it be because citalopram is not working anymore and I need to change ? I’m not in a good place.

Sorry things are tough with you

It worked for a couple of years for me, and then didn't, despite increasing and increasing. If you've given it a go at the next dose up for a month or so and there's no improvement, you might be the same. Go back to your GP and speak with them about changing.

Thanks Hefzi...can another ads make me good again ?

People often have to switch after a few years, or change dose to get better results.

You might need to change dose or it could be you need a change. Best to talk to your doctor. Citalopram didn't do anything apart from take the edge of. Venlaxfaxine was better for me.

Thank you all. I need something stronger before I have my periods and citalopram does nothing
