Hi

Do you mean from 10 to 20 ?

Depends what they are , but as you already have them in your system , i wouldnt think it would be to long , i would say a week at the most

no 20mg to 10mg of citalopram hoping the side effects aren,t as bad

[Hidden in reply to beechcroft]

Right , sorry I didnt quite get it , i do now

I am no expert on this , but again as you have them already in your system , i would imagine a week at the most & you should see some kind of difference

Are you like me & come out of the Doctors & then think ...i should have asked how long , i no i am like that

Another idea , The chemist is very good at answering questions , you can phone them , there should be a telephone number on the sticker of your meds , if you were to phone them tomorrow they should be able to tell you more

Let me no if you do & what they thought

Hope the side effects ease soon hun

Love

What tablets are you taking and I take its 10 to 20mg

[beechcroft in reply to hamish1]

citalopram the doctor changed me from 20mg to 10mg should the side effects reduce over the first 3 weeks

[hamish1]

They will reduce but I take the side effects from being on 20mg was just too much.

Dear Beechcroft,

I hope that this helps.

I was on 10 mg citralopram initially, then went to 20mg.

I started to experience headaches whilst on 20mg and went back to my GP, who reduced my dosage back down to 10mg.

The headaches have gone, however I cannot recall exactly how long it toke for the headaches to go.

If I had to make an educated quess I would say within 2 to 3 weeks, maybe even sooner.

I wish you well.

warmest regards,

Marcus
