Citalopram :: Dose Increased From 20mg To 40mg
I have been on 20mg Citalopram for years. Although lately I feel this has not been working as I have felt low, tearful,tired,unmotivated and generally not right. I have not been going to work and used to love my job even having to do 12hr shifts. I have been sick alot and suffer back and joint pains and being investigated for Rheumatoid Arthritis or some other autoimmune problem. My main concern is my mood ad I just want to be normal and go to work and socialize again. How long does it take to see an improvement it's been a week since dose change? Sorry for long post just had to get how I feel out there.

I have had a really tough year, and was prescribed citalopram 12 weeks ago, started on 10mg for 2 weeks then 20mg ever since. I haven't been feeling any better, I have been going through a break up so its hard to know what's heartbreak and what's depression but the only thing that's seemed to be improving is anxiety which was taking over my life.
I still wake up most days not wanting to move, feeling hopeless and like I don't want to be here (I wouldn't physically hurt myself) and non stop crying and fear of the future and low self esteem. I used to be so confident and outgoing and happy, my world has crashed in the last year and recently I spoke to my doctor who has raised the dose to 40mg which I have now been taking for 3 days. I feel absolutely worse and again not sure if it's circumstantial. I feel embarrassed In Front of my friends and family as one minute I'll be crying and struggling to breath having a panic attack and the next I'll be laughing and smiling. Has anyone else suffered in the same way? I am hoping that this dosage is what I need but I'm just having teething problems. Right now though I feel very scared and worried it's not going to do the trick if I feel like this.
Fluoxetine :: 20mg Or 40mg?
This is my 2nd wk on flu and can tell im going to stick with it & haven't had much side effects, i was on sertraline that made me very ill for 4 weeks & doc put me straight away on 20mg flu so i suppose i had some benefit,
I feel alot better but still have the low levels of anxiety as u has took the edge of, im still finding it difficult to go out and socialise again & to go back to work, i think i may be ready for 40 mg as iv come to a stand still?

View 2 RepliesFluoxetine :: Increasing From 20mg To 40mg - Horrible Side Effects
I'm new to this website just hoping it can keep me more positive while I get through this. I've had generalised anxiety disorder for years now but I've only recently tried medication. I was on 20mg fluoxetine for nearly 8 weeks, the first week and a half was awful with side effects then I just felt the same as I did before taking medication which obviously wasn't as bad as the side effects. I agreed with my doctor to up the dose to 40mg last week after just under 8 weeks because it wasn't really doing much. Since I upped the dose 3 days ago I've been feeling spaced out/drowsy not quite with it nearly all the time which is something I experienced when I first started taking the 20mg and I'm not happy about it I hate feeling like this I'm scared of feeling as bad as before. I was wondering if people could please tell me how long they had side effects after increasing their dose if they had them? And whether 20mg didn't work for you but when 40mg did?

Came off Lexapro 40 mg bout week and a half ago and have been on prozac 20mg for 2.5 weeks. Dr upped it today to 40 mg.
First week and a half on prozac 20mg i felt agitated and really really anxious...panicky often...racing thoughts, felt like i was going crazy.
But this morning just woke up totally depressed..cried all day pretty much, no motivation, huge brainfog, extremely tired, low concentration, not interested in doing anything- not enough concentration to do anything. Don't feel like eating.
I am wondering if it is too low dose after coming off Lexapro 40 mg...or maybe it just hasn't kicked in yet all....can anyone, from their own experience, shed some light on this....i am feeling completely lost!

View 10 RepliesCitalopram :: Anxiety Is Back On Increasing The Dose
I have been on cit for 4 weeks. My doctor decided this morning that she should increase my dose from 20mg to 30mg. I'm not sure why she decided to do this because I've actually been feeling close to myself for the last 2 days and I informed her of that. Since I've been home from the appointment my anxiety is creeping back in. I think it may be due to worry of increasing the dose. Should I expect to have increased side effects and/or anxiety after taking the new dose?

I am now taking 200mg of levothyroxine for hypothyroidism and 40mg of atorvastatin for cholesterol and fatty liver. I also take fish oil, multivitamin, D3, allegra, and baby aspirin. My medical provider is focusing on my thyroid before tackling everything else. I should also mention that my mother has non alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver, diabetes, dementia, diverticulitis, and myopathy. I'm considering taking coQ10.

View 2 RepliesDuromine 40mg - Not Working After Taking It For 7 Days
Today is Day 7 of taking Duromine 40mg, first time taking Duromine!
I started weighing 75kgs, I was on Liproxenol for 2 months and went to the gym nearly everyday, or did some sort of exercise & lost 5kgs. Stopped after that as it didn't seem to work anymore? Then I put 3kgs back on which brings me back to 73kgs. I then lost 2.5kgs just eating healthy and working out daily. So I went to the local Dr. Who prescribed me Duromine 40mgs, I started the next , only got 2 weeks worth as I wanted to see how my body would react to them.
Day 1: I woke up at 6am took the tablet and fell back asleep, at 7:40am I woke up with a burst of energy didn't even feel like I just had woken, throughout the day constant dry mouth, no hunger pains at all, energy went up and down by 11pm that evening I still hadn't eaten just drank water non stop all day long, nothing seemed to stop my dry mouth! As much as I wanted to eat I tried to force myself to eat toast but couldn't at all.
Day 2: 6am took the tablet, felt kind of scattered out and " out of it " didn't have as much energy as the day before, still dry mouth! Drank lots of water, I constantly feel like I need to "pee" but its like a busting feeling but go and its nothing at all? Frustrating! I was able to eat a apple, 2 pieces of toast and picked at dinner later that night, around 10pm that night I felt hungry, but would try and eat and couldn't stomach it
Day 3: Felt tired , took the pill at 6am but this time slept till 10:30! Woke up, still very thirsty, not much energy, felt very dizzy and felt like I needed to be sick! I only ate a few oranges that day and ate dinner as normal! It feels like to me it stops working in the evening more towards 11pm..
Day4: I gave myself a break didn't take it this day, and it was like my body had no effect to the duromine all I wanted was food food food! Had breakfast lunch & dinner!
Day5: Took it at 7am, hour later straight up with a burst of energy, dry mouth same effects as day 1, also dizzy, felt weak but felt hungry went for a walk to burn some of that energy! Stayed in bed for all the afternoon after the walk..But was able to eat later that evening..
Day6: 7am took it , slept till 9:30ish woke up felt normal only had a dry mouth, energy wasn't any different, ate subway for lunch 6inch and had dinner as normal no picking felt hungry still after?
Day7: 7am took it, slept till 9am didn't feel like eating today at the start, around 12 got hunger pains, at 3 apples, then later had 2 scrambled eggs with tomato ( struggled to handle the smell or eat them ) just before forcing myself to eat them I was starting to feel sick, very very dizzy! After I forced myself I felt like I was going to be sick, laid down and felt weak and tired for a few hours. Then for dinner and a small portion of it.. Felt hungry after but everytime I go to eat my mind sort of rejects it?
I exercise morning and night and try to around lunch time as well everyday, I walk wherever I have to go that's not a massive distance! I drink glasses a day of water, and I eat healthy when I do it.
I weighed myself today at 70kgs!!?
Why is this working so slow for me? Specially when my eating has come down so much, I exercise daily!? It's like nothing is changing.. Anyone have any ideas? I feel like Duromine is a waste? I read all these success stories but struggling to lose weight?
