(((Stitch)))

It will probably take a little longer for the increase in meds to have an effect, 10-2 weeks roughly. I know you had the panic attack earlier today (((Stitch)))

Please speak to your Dr or NHS Direct if you are very concerned right now

im not concered im just really happy last few days i was hoping it was due to increase dosage but i could just be on a happy few days:) spoke doc about panic attack he said higher dosage could have cause it as citalopram can cause panic attacks

Stitch --

When I increase dosage, I generally begin to feel the difference in about a week.

I see that Girly referenced a panic attack... When I started Lex back in November, I had my first panic attack (and hopefully my last!), 5 days into it. Adjustment periods can bring out added anxiety (and panic attacks, unfortunately!). Hopefully the good feelings of the chemical adjustment will be equally discernable soon!

Best to you,
