Upping the Dosage
Posted: Fri 10 September, 2010 Filed under: Depression, Domestic 3 Comments »Having been on these bloody anti-depressants for a few months now (since 15th April, it turns out – so five months already) it was time today to go and see the GP for a review.
For me, while they’ve done some good, the Citalopram dosage I’m currently on hasn’t been enough – I still have more bad days than good, and do get locked in to depression for periods of time.
So I’ve now ended up getting the dosage doubled. According to the GP, there “shouldn’t” be any extra side-effects just for upping the dosage – which was worthy of a raised eyebrow, needless to say – but we’ll see what happens.
Hope they work and you have many more good days. Although I am willing to bet that sweary obnoxious you is actually the good day you 🙂 Greeeeeat.
Yeah, sweary and obnoxious is me to the core. Sorry about that.
Have you looked at moodscope.com? Anti-depressants only ever cover up the problem, they’ll never solve it. A new perspective/handle on things is the only thing that can change things. Moodscope has worked for everyone I know who’s tried it. And you don’t need ‘buddies’ either. The daily email Jon (founder) sends out often contains some gems too.
