Increase Citalopram or try diff Med?

[Blossom4538]

Hi all,

I’m on 30mg Citalopram and have been for a few years. Recently suffered a huge trauma and have a few other things to cope with too. I feel so low, tired almost all the time, some insomnia as my mind races and goes over the traumatic event at nighttime.

I wonder whether to call Dr and increase med or try another. Which medication do you find helpful?

I think it's probably worth increasing to 40mg first, seeing as it has worked for you in the past and you are already on it. Then if no effect, maybe try something different.

I recently went from 30-40 on citalopram and it made a big difference to me.

Sorry about the hard time you are having by the way. I hope you find something to help before too long.
