Exclamation Check Celexa Dose

Dear liveinthepresent,

I don't know if you are still around NT or not?

After reading this thread, I'd like to add:

1) A high dose of any AD may cause someone to feel "numb" or apathetic, even depersonalized and/or dissociated. It also may not cause these symptoms.

2) If you are on Celexa (citalopram) and wish to continue it's use, please check in with your prescribing doctor about the dose. Celexa used to be utilized at up to 40 mg. This is rarely the case now, as Celexa has been linked to exacerbating heart issues in some people. 20 mg is now the top/highest dose. The elderly are often treated with only 10 mg.
Pharmacists now often recommend Celexa never be combined with another drug which may also have adverse effects upon the heart.

Citalopram is generally one of the more sedating SSRI meds and is often used with co-occurring anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, PTSD and chronic pain.

I hope you have already found helpful answers and are feeling better!

To Our Healing,
DejaVu
