Increasing dosage level.

Hey,

I've been on celexa for quite a while; it was origanaly prescribed for OCD. The doctor told me that it would treat depression as well. After the preliminary period of concentration accumulation, I noticed that I was no longer having panic attacks-which was great. Unfortunately, I was still depressed, and that's how I still feel.

After I graduated from highschool (last year), I went to university and got straight As, all the while experiancing, I suppose, a mild depression. Now, however, at the end of my second semester (and I've been like for at least 3 months now), I feel lethargic. Insomnia has always been a problem, and, even on days when I do sleep, I'm still lethergic.

Now, back in the first semester, I had the great experiance of an existencial/idenity crisis, which is still persisting. The crisis had been in the making for quite a while. How was I supposed to reconcile the behavior that I had durring highschool (and to an extent now), with my concept of my self? Durring highschool, I had spent literly hundreads of hours introspecting, and, when the crisis 'hit', I realized that it was all bogus. So I realized that I had absolutly nothing in the way of self idenity. That realization was horrifying.

Anyways, I'm considering increasing my dosage of celexa from 40mg to 60mg, and I was wondering if this said increase would have any affect upon my current mood.

You need your doctor to increase your dosage if you want an increase, otherwise it will be stupid to take more than your prescribed as you will just run out of meds earlier than your refill.

Yep trust Noca on this one. Tell your doctor what's goin on next time you see him and he'll make the decision on what course of action to take.


Peace
