Setback or blip or need meds upped?

[Milkybob]

Hi folks im 48.

Ive been on Citalopram since August 2024 (round2). 2omf, then upped to 30mg in about November. I had about 5 or 6 weeks feeling normal and great, but blipped 2 or more weeks ago, ..around due date period, was going away with friends, etc. Im feeling low and anxious once more, having felt good up.until a couple of weeks back. It this a setvack/blip, or is it an indication that I need to raise citalopram. I was previously on 40mg a few years ago. Please answer if you can, with your experiences of setbacks, i.e how long, or if you decided to increase. Im so worried). Thank you.

I honestly don't think that people on MN can even begin to answer this question. Everyone has slightly different experiences of the medication, and also different reactions to the experience that they have. Only you can really judge whether you need to go to your doc and discuss a revised dose. And only your doctor, in collaboration with you, can work out what to do. Even then there is guesswork involved and it may just be a case of trying a higher dose to see what happens. xx
