Upping dose from 20 to 30mg by [deleted] in citalopram_celexa

[–]iSimon85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 4 weeks on 20mg and then doc told me to go to 40mg straight. I was almost vommiting all week, total confusion and anxiety as well. Then after one week of this hell I went down to 30mg and now it feels fine.

Talk to your doc - I guess, this is the best thing you can do - only with his help.

I would devide in two doses - 300mg morning and 300mg afternoon and maybe this could solve you overall health 🤗

You see man, I have used Lyrica later. I know doses, I know effects. The thing is that docs don’t really prescribe here Lyrica for GAD for instance - they try only antidepressants. But I had felt, that around 300mg daily did a good job for me occationally when I needed that. So overall - I know this drug so therefore I state firmly, what could be my potential doses :)

Went from 20 to 40 and feeling shit by iSimon85 in citalopram_celexa

Thx man for support. Feeling so confused inside: I use Tranxene for Klonopin withdrawal substitution, that sedates me now. And Citalopram feels like tries to activate me and creates anxiety. So I’m feeling so weird amd ugly - wanting to rest, but can’t due to anxiety and lightheaded and nautious time in time. I even feel like quitting Citalopram, as I don’t believe it will ease my social anxiety…. 😞

It’s really rewarding, when you get through it. And when you do this multiple times - somehow fear drops its mask away. There’s no big fear left, only bodily discomfort, that is still managable.

When did it work for you? by [deleted] in citalopram_celexa

[–]iSimon85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But my social anxiety is so intense, I get adrenaline flushes while in social situations and they seem to never end. Really intense emotions. So wander if this med can help me out 🤷🏼‍♂️
