> Ask yourself which dose increase seemed to make any effect on your mood anxiety etc.
I honestly don't have a clue. I have a very poor memory about these things. I could be totally sad one day and then happy the next and it would seem to me that I'd always been happy.
> Most people have a dose which seems appropriate, and then beyond that there seems to be little benefit.
I don't have any idea about whether taking SSRIs even does anything for me. Somehow or another I went from 25mg of Zoloft to 150mg of Zoloft maybe two years ago??? (Poor memory about these things). I never noticed any difference...then again maybe I cannot be objective about myself...who knows?
> Cut back say 10mg or so, for a little while and see how it goes. You may find you feel normal with fewer side effects.On Zoloft I had a few minor side effects when first starting on it, but on Celexa it seems like I don't have any side effects at all. I have muscle twitches every now and then, but it is kind of fun and doesn't bother me.
Hmmm...yes, I think I will cut back...it will be less of a hassle for me to keep having to split the pills. I'm sure I can cut cold turkey without any problems, but whatever. It might be fun for me to experiment on going cold turkey though...see if it really does anything at all.
Thanks Linkage
