What is the highest strength of celexa you would give a 20 year old female

I was put on 20mg celexa in Feb. Then my phsyc. Bumped me up to 40mg a month later&gave me a refill in april. I felt real good like I would talk more n be happy&spazzy around ppl I really enjoyed to be around&i slept better at night...&im just 18 so they prolly will move yu up gradually. Hope all goes well hunn :)

60 mg/day, but it has to be raised slowly.  I'm about 20 myself and was put on celexa as my first anti-depressant.  After pushing me up to 60mg, they tried me on another anti-depressant.  Hang in there.  Lots of people respond really well to the right dose of celexa for them, but the ones who don't shouldn't give up hope because there are so many anti-depressants out there, and not responding to one doesn't predict whether you'll respond to the next.
