Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.

hello, Increase the dose of citapram to 15-20mg and if still there is no effect - please change to sertraline.
for sleeping: try clonazepam 1mg or zolpidem 12.5mg. Once sleep is restored nicely, you will start feeling better from the very next day.
you should also get TSH level and Vit. B12 levels as they can be deranged.
you may talk to your treating team regarding the above points. Donot worry, you will definitely get better. Just give meds sometime and increase the dosage.
good luck. Dr. Manisha Gopal MD Psychiatry
