Sadness i changed medication from 150mg sertraline to 20mg of citalopram one week ago feel dreadful crying everyday feeling suicidal seeing gp on monday what should i do this has been my worst.

Is there an on-call number for your doctor that you can call before Monday. To see if they want you back on a higher dose. Can you get out and take a brisk walk that releases endorphins. Listen to some great music. I know just how bad you feel and I'm so sorry you're in such a bad place.

Medication changes are hard. Our bodies get used to one, and then when it changes, it's almost like we start over. Give your body time to re-accustom itself to the change. You say it's only been a week. That it unfortunately nothing compared to what it normally is (which is 3-4 weeks and maybe more depending on the medication).

I switched from Citalopram to Sertraline..it took months before I felt the benefit..sadly we have to feel worse before we feel better ..don't give up

Peace and blessings to you. I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way. When I first started taking citalopram I was on an emotional roller coaster as well. My dr it would take about 3 weeks for my system to balance itself out. And it did. Make sure you see the dr tomorrow. We are all here for you. 💜💜💜

Maybe a direct switch was the wrong way to go? In any case, it takes time to adjust. Try calling a pharmacist for advice. I've always found them helpful. That being said, I took two doses of citalopram and spent those two days vomiting and feeling more depressed and anxious than before. That may have been because my prescriber was not a psychologist and didn't know what he was doing. I really sympathize with you. I hope you feel better soon

I presume you changed medication slowly?

I have only ever been on sertraline.
