Just upped from 10-15mg citalopram

Hi, I've been on 10 mg of citalopram for 16 days and today I upped it to 15. I was expecting some side-effects but it's made me feel ten times worse- panic attacks, worse depression, sweaty etc. I was starting to do quite well on the 10 but was still having horrible mornings which was why I upped it. Anyone else had this? Xx

Did you consult your GP before changing dose? Either way go back now and discuss the problems it's giving you as 15mg is a low dose and those sound like horrid side effects it could be that it isn't the right ad for you. Hope you feel better very soon.

Yes, my Gp said I could go up to 20 after 2 weeks so I've been even more cautious by going to 15. I've been on citalopram before and it worked so I'm hopeful, I think maybe I worked myself up yesterday by reading all sorts of horror stories about side-effects...
