It could go either : Way. Increasing the dose might help, but may also make it worse. A different medicine may be the answer for you.

New Med?: You may be treating only part of your problem, depression. It is common to have this kind of reaction when you have a mood disorder which includes, but is not limited to, depression. Treating the depression alone may unmask the agitation side of the condition. Consult with your provider and see what they think about this. If you've been on Celexa (citalopram) for a while taper slowly. Ask doc.
