> How do you know for positively sure that your meds have pooped out? I do not feel depressed but feel anxiety again for the first time in a year, cranky, find myself making comments that I wouln't have made 6 months ago (needling comments to the husband). I'm thinking this 20mg celexa is not working like it use to. But do the Dr's normally up the dose or stop gradually or switch. I seem to have long light depression but have felt so good hate starting to feel crappy again but again nothing like before. any suggestions.
Diamondlil,
Sorry to hear things aren't going quite as well as they used to. Just a couple comments concerning Celexa. In clinical trials 20mg was not much different than placebo. At 40mg it started to show clear superiority to placebo. I think it's great that it worked at 20mg for a while. But just so you know, that is a bit on the low side. I think it makes sense to increase to 30mg for a couple weeks, and then maybe 40mg for a couple weeks, just to see how that goes.
