hi Faye

I increased my dose or 20mg to 25mg for 9 weeks not much improvement. Still really anxious and bad sleep. I have increased 19 days ago to 30mg. some good days and bad days. Still very anxious and my sleeping is a little better. Side effects were increased anxiety and headache. x

hi faye

I still have side effects I think. I am day 20 of 30mg. I have OK days and bad days. I today had a panic episode but was able to calm. so not sure if that is increased anxiety. xx

Hi Collette, i think we must be very similar in terms of our 30mg doses. I am currently on day 28 of 30mg and still struggling. How are you doing ?

hi David

I am day 35. I was in 25mg for 9 weeks then upped to 30mg. I have noticed some improvements but not back to myself. This week seems to be a down week. my anxiety is very much there in the evening and morning. just cry sometimes wishing I could be me again
