Am i gonna need a med change or dosage increase?!


Question: Am i gonna need a med change or dosage increase?
ive really been struggling with my anxiety, depression, and the urge to cut this week and i started taking 20 mg celexa almost 3 weeks ago, i mean it kinda helps but im still anxious/depressed/numb and want to cut and i already have another appointment with the doctor (more specifically a pyschiatric nurse or something, i know shes not a psychiatrist but can prescribed the meds) that prescribed me it.

Answers:

You may need an increase in your meds, or they may change your meds. Be sure to tell your prescriber all the symptoms you are having. Sometimes it takes a bit to find the right dosage.



You can try putting a rubber band around your wrist and snapping it, or hold an icecube in your hand so it hurts, instead of cutting. That is only a stopgap measure. You should be seeing a therapist. The drugs aren't that effective. You can also try moodgym, free computerized therapy, but imo, you also need to meet with someone. celexa might increase your anxiety
