Has anyone been on 100mg with minimal help for depression but then moved up to 150mg and felt much better and nearly back to normal… enjoying stuff again?

HI ,

I started on 50mg 17 months ago and i ve seen very little improvment , then we upped the dose to 100mg and i was feeling the same . When we upped to 150mg 4 months later finally I felt a lot better .

I am currently on 200mg and feel a lot better. i have a few bad days here and there but in general i feel good.

i was suffering from depression and anxiety .

I take it you were on 100mg for 4 months. iv been on 100mg 6 weeks up from 50mg. I have got an improvement but still have problems . I was hoping this dose in time would bring me back to normal.

Thank you for your input. I will see how I am after 4 months.

That's great, thank you. You were very patient and took time with upping your doses but finally got there. So did you wait 4 months on 150 to feel first improvements?

Hi!

150mg is the dose I take for anxiety- 100mg just wasn't enough. It took time and patience, but I am doing much better.

Hi Bethany, did you suffer with low mood as well? Did it take a long time to feel better after the increase?

how are you doing

Dr switched me to paxil first day today, Pristiq was having no effect for me. hope you are well.

14

I am still waiting to feel myself... my problem is depression not so much anxiety. I hope Paxil helps you.

15

has it eased some

16

Anxiety yes, but still no enjoyment or positive emotions.

17

do you ever feel tingling in various places of your head when your dose is raised on an antidepressant or going off of one

Hi there
After the first increased from 50mg to 100mg, it did get easier moving to 150mg. Im now on 200mg a day and it has helped me. I still get down days and it can hit me very hard especially when my period comes. Mostly I feel good but some days can be hard. I try my best to push through it all. Give yourself time, im sure youve found the right dose for you. Onwards and upwards. God bless

Hi Lynn, no I didn't have that. I hope you are okx

Hi, thank you for your reply x How long have you been on SERT amd how long on each dose? I have started week 12 on SERT and 3rd week on 150 today. My depression and anxiety have worsened since the increase so I hope I can feel more improvements soon. I really hope Sert helps me as I can't imagine to come off it and starting something else....Do you enjoy things now? Did it tale you long to feel better?xxx
