I think you are doing the right thing by increasing your dose. You can re-evaluate the situation in a few months when the new celexa, called escitalopram, hits the market. This new version of Celexa showed less side effects in clinical trials.

I suppose if I was high, there must have been a lot of agitation and sleep problems, but nothing like that happened. I just felt smart, calm and natural, like it should be.
