What Dosage Citalopram are u on?

I am feeling very stressed and low. Been on Citalopram for around 6 years - 30mg. I may book a Drs appointment and discuss - maybe a change of meds or increase, whatever has least side effects as I can’t feel like I did when I first went on to Citalopram - too much going on and too many responsibilities!

I hate my life at the minute and don’t know how to bounce back.

20mg and it seems to work for me. When I’ve tried to stop, the crying starts again.

I take 30mg. The highest it's licensed to in the uk I believe is 40mg. Have a chat with the doctor and see about an increase before changing as the coming off it to swap isn't easy

Think I may ask for an increase. Hoping there won’t be too many side effects

Ditch the pills?

Was on 40mg for years and now on something entirely different - can't remember the name.

I’m on 40mg a day and have been on that dosage for the last 2-3 years. The thought of lowering the dose terrifies me

They've just recently upped mine from 30mg to 40mg
