A member asked:
Is it usual to feel a bit worse before feeling better when increasing citalopram? went from 10 mg to 20 a week ago and feel a lot of brain fog/panicky
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Sometimes you can feel more anxious when citalopram is started or when the dose is increased. Usually this resolves with time. However, there are some people who don't tolerate it well for whom this side effect doesn't resolve. Take care.
