I went up in dosage myself with the celexa because it calmed me down during the day, by 20mg...I liked the feeling. I want to go up to 80mg celexa but the clinic said it wasn't a good idea.........why ? When I feel so much better?
Are they afraid it might induce euphoria? The prescrip is over $100.00 dollars w/o insurance.~Need to know ....writeme someone!!!!!!
