Hi all. I m on day 26 of 10 mg and my anxiety is getting worse!!. All other side effects have gone. I should of gone up to 20 mg but feel I can't chance it. I thinking I should give up!. Anyone else think this is not right?!!
Day 26 is early still. The side effects will disappear little by little, and the anxiety is probably one of the hardest things to deal with - but it will go. We all seem to go through these awful side effects, but they only last a few weeks. People give up too early and don't get to to benefit from this medication.
20mg might give you side effects again - can you not cut the tablets up and take 15mg to start wit, then slowly onto 20mg? 20 is the usual dose.
People will support you on here throughout. But persevere as you're nearly there xxx
Thanks katecogs
I ll try and carry on. Wish I could have a week in bed!..working 2 shifts some days is hell some days!!.if I wasn't at work I probably would of upped the dose just to see what happened!!..May be I ll wait to Friday to up it, if I manage to stay on it that is!!..and yes I ll cut them in half! X
20mg will give you side effects all over again which is difficult to bear I know, but if your aim is to get onto that then I would say you're delaying the inevatable. That was the way I saw it. I knew the quicker I got onto 20 and put up with the side effects, the quicker they'd start working.
This may not be the case for you. Good luck x
