Going To Give Citalopram A Go Again

[bluebeard]

sertraline has been a bit of a let down

anyone else on citalopram ?

my dr at the surgery says most of his patiensts for anxiety take it at 40 to 60 mg

I had an awful time on sertraline. Currently back on citalopram, helping with some things but not others. Currently on 20mg hoping to get it increased tomorrow. The maximum dose now for citalopram is 40mg it changed in august something to do with doses higher than 40 causing cardiac arrymthmias.

There are a few threads in this section on citalopram if you want to see others experiences on it. Hope it helps you.

It certainly helped me, I'm on 60mg.

I take cipralex which is apparently a newer, purer form of celexa. I have found it quite beneficial for my OCD symptoms. Obsessive behaviors and thoughts have decreased some which is a miracle!

thanks for your replies guys

I have some ocd problems too

 

[bluebeard]

I'm taking it too! I've been taking 40mg for last 21/2yrs, no side effects now & just feeling well enough to reduce dose.

Yeah I feel Celexa has done its job for me.

I take 40 mg a day. I started out on a much lower dose and worked my way up over the course of a few months. Now that I'm taking 40 mg, I feel that it works much better. It reduces my anxiety, which can be paralyzing at times. That is the main thing I noticed when I started taking it.

They tried to get me to take Buspar with it but I didn't like it. So I just take the 40mg Citalopram each day.
