Switching medicine does happen sometimes when you find one type doesn't suit as well. Its doesn't matter which meds you're on though you will still go through the same waves (feeling good / anxiety) as it seems a normal part of recovery. This seems to be what you're having now - so its absolutely normal. These last completely throughout recovery too, though they do lessen as the months go by. It can take months and months to reach recovery so it does take lots of patience. The more you let a setback bother you the harder it will seem. The best way to deal with them is to understand they're temporary, relax towards it (because tensing and fighting it just creates anxiety and frustration), work with it there but in a relaxed manner, don't keep checking if its still there - it will be ...... This will help you ride out the storm - it won't give you instant relief ..... that comes after practice. In the UK 40mg is the maximum dose you can take on Citalopram (Celexa in the US) and a lot of people do struggle on this dose and do find in time they have constant side effects and have to lower. Try not to be in a hurry to recover - it will take time, whatever type of SSRI you're on. This feeling will go though and you'll be back to that lovely normal feeling again. Don't forget these setbacks will happen time after time until they cease.
