I took 40 mg of citalopram yesterday and today, and I feel just as depressed as I did when I was off the stuff for like a week! I know it takes time to get in, but could I take 50, 55 or 60 mg now? I know of people on 60, but in this book I read on psych drugs it says Celexa is prescribed in 20-40 mg doses. I feel WORSE than suicidal-- I can't kill myself, because I don't believe the afterlife is any better!

60mg is okay to take, but it isn't likely to be effective
