I’m considering giving citalopram(10 mg) another try but I’m honestly worried.
About a year and a half ago, I was on 20mg and stopped after less than two months because it made me feel emotionally flat. I didn’t really feel anything, but I still had mood swings, which was confusing.
Lately my mental health has gotten a lot worse. I started therapy about a month ago and I happened to have a a doctor’s appointment last week. I wasn’t planning on going back on citalopram, but he insisted on prescribing it again, agreeing to lower it to 10mg because of my past experience. He framed it more as something to help stabilize my mood and anxiety this time.
I’m trying to do what I can to feel better, but I feel like I’m running out of options. I’m scared the medication will just make me feel numb again, and I don’t think I can handle that right now.
I guess I’m just asking if it’s worth trying again, if it actually helped anyone, or what your experiences have been with this medication and this dose.
