In my experience DOSE HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH IT.
I couldnt quite cope on 40mg citalopram. 60mg citalopram made me feel almost totally well. I tried 80mg citalopram for a month, but I couldnt tolerate the extra amount. When on a couple of occasions I accidentally took my 60mg dose twice in one day (=120mg) I was quite ill.
Since i SWITCHED to lexapro, 30mg has been way to high a dose for me. Im going down to 20mg from tomorrow and leave it there for a while until I know the dose is either too high or right for me.
I have tried all the SSRIs (except Luvox), and citalopram was definitely the best for me.
Im just hoping that on a new lowered dose of lexapro that my sexual side effects will diminish which was the only real problem I had with citalopram.
Cheers
