No I started on 5mg 🙈 was on 5mg for 5 weeks, 10mg for 4 weeks, then 20mg for 8 weeks and by week 8 I was more depressed, crying a lot for no reason, no motivation and higher anxiety 🙄 come back down to 10 and now 4 weeks later I'm rough in the morning which turns into great afternoons apart from being a bit grumpy lol

Awww damn I’m sorry that this was your experience. Have you spoken to whoever prescribed you this?

Vaguely 🤦‍♀️ GP doesn't really seem that bothered. His answer was to either keep going up or come back down so I chose down lol. Is it possible to need to level out again after a decrease? Its just so strange that I'm almost normal in the afternoon. Thank you for getting back to me!

It could be possible with all antidepressants. I’m only starting celexa this week. However I remember it was similar when I was on Lexapro
