“Depression ”
I’ve been on Celexa for one month. 10mg for 3 weeks. And upped to 20mg 8 days ago. I have insomnia, from anxiety normally. So, using to treat possible depression and anxiety disorder. Is it normal to not be able to sleep even with Ativan? Also, nausea started 7 days after raised dose. And last two says I feel more depressed than ever before in my life. Are these normal feelings after raising dose on Celexa.

About medication interactions or side effects, please consult your healthcare provider. They can give you personalized advice based on your individual situation.
There is no normal, only you. If worse stop it.
Consider another medication if you decide to stay on meds

Increased depression after increasing a dose of an SSRI is not a typical response. This may not be the right medication for you. If the depression significantly worsens, I would recommend contacting your prescriber for a sooner appointment. You might also discuss a different treatment for insomnia because long term benzodiazepine use can lead to dependence and worsen insomnia because of your body developing a tolerance to it.
