Citalopram dose increase?

Hi Philw64,
You sound as if you are struggling with this medication; you need to specifically tell your prescriber, the tumultuous, with bad thoughts, anxiety, and depression, directly, ASAP. The first concern is for your safety, and second, goal is to alleviate these vegetative symptoms so that your ability to function daily without the chaos occurs.
Yes, it is possible to experience, what you are going through, with an increase of any medications. There is more of the medication avalible to the brain, but because it is an SSRI, it takes an average of four to six weeks to feel the full effect. But, remember, everyone is unique, and as are their experiences with the medications.
Sometimes a smaller dosage increase 5mg instead of 10mg, may do the job.
I wish you well, don't give up.
Best Regards,
Cindy

Anything is possible. But, yes, it is not uncommon for this to occur, especially, you have more the medication avaliable to the brain.; however, just because the dose is increased, the beneficial level may not be experienced, four to six weeks.
