Feeling crap

[SpringSunshine]

Increased citalopram from 10mg to 20mg 3 weeks ago but no good so doc increased it to 40mg.
Since I started them I have felt lightheaded, sick and dizzy culminating in passing out at work this afternoon!

Trouble is I cannot take time off sick as I won't get paid and cannot afford to - feel like I am stuck between a rock & a hard place.

Sorry, just needed a winge

Maybe increase was too much in one go. I know my body can't take that kind of increase (doubling) without worsening side effects. How long have you been taking higher dose?

I would get a pill cutter and up them gradually
Or even 30mg until that is steady then go to 40mg if needed x

Thanks - only been taking them a couple of days. Will reduce slightly and see how it goes.
Hate feeling this sick & dizzy but if it helps overall I'm all for it
