Suggest dosage for Paroxetine and Citalopram while treating anxiety and depression
human
I was taking paroxatine 30 mg for anxiety and depression. Was changed to citalopram 20 mg because paroxatine wasn t working. Now paroxatine is not in my system and citalopram has only been taken for 4 days so it s reall not working either and very emotional. What would happen if I took 1/2 paroxatine in the am and citalopram in the pm. Only till it gets in my system

Hello,I have gone through the details mentioned in the question. I believe that your prescribing doctor must have shared with you that majority of antidepressant medicines take 2-4 weeks to respond. So I believe it would be too early (in just 4 days) to expect the response.Regarding doses of citalopram, it may go up to 40mg per day but only after consulting your doctor.Hope this would be helpful to ease out concern and in case needed you may get back to forum.Thanks
