A member asked:
If 20mg of celexa (citalopram) controls my anxiety will that dose stay working for a long time or stop?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: Depends .. how long have you been stable on this medication ? It may take a month or more before it reaches full effectiveness, and may need adjustment during the first 6 months. Once you find a level that works for 6 mo or more, you could remain stable for decades or more..
