Hi all, now on my 5th month, had a fab 6 weeks, now its back again, could it be that im stressed. I have a broken wrist, and looking after mother in law for the last 3 weeks, as we are preparing her for a home.. or shall I increase, im on 100 ml. Thanks

Hi Kells,

The body gets use to medication and sometimes after a period of medication the dose has to be raised to achieve the same effect until the correct dosage level is found.

Alternatively you could try to manage your anxiety by natural means eg meditation, self help books, CBT, councelling.

Or maybe a mixture of both meds and self help until you feel well enough to taper off meds all together...

Good luck

This could just be because of extra stress and new activity in your life. Give it a few weeks and see if you feel any different. If no then maybe you should speak to your Dr about an increase.
