   Having been on Citalopram for years i began to have a few problems with anxiety again, moving to a higher dose only made things worse. So we decided to swap to Venalic XL. Moving across was not as bad as I thought it would be and I hardly suffered any of the normal dizzieness.

   I have now been taking 75mg for 2 weeks and will be moving up to a higher dose as of today so we will see how things go. So far only side effects are a dry mouth and some insomnia, which is a heck of a lot nicer than the extreme anxiety I got from Citalopram!

   I am going through exactly the same as from today. Citalopram worked for me a few years ago after a neck injury caused 7 months agony and anxiety. Came off them last summer then my mum died. Went back on a couple of months ago and still have the anxiety. Increased to 60mg but did not seem to help I really hope that the Venalic XL do the trick. It seems that you have already got some improvement, is this correct?

   Good to know you're doing well. I've moved up on the dose, and have been on 150 a day for the past few weeks. To be honest I've found my moods shift pretty fast and I'm a bit less focused. But I'm not having the nasty anxiety which is great!
