Increasing from 10mg to 20mg

I have been taking 10mg for 3 weeks. It has been helping me with panic attacks and OCD a lot, but depression seemed worse. Wanted to sleep a lot. Tomorrow I am supposed to give 20 a go. I’m worried that libido side effects will start with the increase. Has anyone noticed a big increase in side effects increasing from 10mg to 20 mg?

Hi,Sorry to hear your struggling and apprehensive of increasing your dosage could you post what medication you are taking please this will help a great deal it's quite a low amount so I figure it maybe Citalopram I've jyst been prescribed the exact same quantities do have skin in the game, and would be interested in anything you could tell me about your experience

I was on Sertraline for 5years but it simply stopped working hence the sawp I'm just coming off Sertraline at the moment before starting Citalopram and to be fair I'm anxious about side effects too

Not what you're looking for?
