Hi. I have a thread in Chat about my current experience with pnd.
I was prescribed citalopram 10 just over 5 weeks ago. My initial side effects were pretty awful. Seriously increased anxiety, clenched jaw, exhaustion and a bad stomach.
Today at my 6 week check the doctor upped my dose to 20. I'm happy with this because I feel I'm still struggling, and I've read that 20 is the lowest therapeutic dose. But I'm terrified that I'm going to experience the same side effects again. The doctor said I might, and Google is telling me that people often do.
So what are your experiences of upping your cit dose? Please tell me it's going to be the magic wand I so so desperately need.
