I have been taking 10mg citalopram, has helped my anxiety slightly. should i start taking 20mg?

Probably: Citalopram is a good medicine for anxiety. People usually need more than 10 mgs a day to get a response. If it is already helping you you are ahead of the game. You would probably benefit from a higher dose, but you should certainly discuss this with your prescriber.
