celexa

I have been on celexa for 5 weeks now. I started on 10 and then went to 20. I have had some stomach upset and tiredness. I went to 30 several days ago and the side affects got worse. Does this go away after awhile. I feel i need the higher dose to feel better.

Probably not going to go away. I agree with Moonwind, lower the dose. The higher dose may be making you worse.  I would add, considering tapering off and eventually stopping this med. You shouldn't be experiencing these effects for 5 weeks. It apparently isn't working for you.

talk to your doc about your dosage you may not need the higher dose see you doc and go back down in your dosage.it can take 4-6 weeks for the med to kick in.Good luck
