Celexa (citalopram): Sometimes going to 30mg. From 20mg. Might ease that, & sometimes changing the timing of taking it, or even splitting the total daily dose in half (half in morning & half at night), but please review with your prescribing doctor first.

Tell your doctor: Please call your doctor and tell him/her what's happened since your dose was increased. I'm guessing you may still have been having symptoms with the 20mg dose, and that's why your doctor increased? Maybe you can discuss dropping back to 30mg and see how that goes. Good luck.
