Increase in dose - feel crummy

[nh_user_1127726]

Precisely 14 days ago I increased from 150 to 200 mg... and after 6 days I started to feel SO crummy.

I’m nauseous, I wake up at 3:30 every night and anxiety is through the roof.

Before I’ve done 25 mg increases and side effects have lasted around 7 days - so have never tried a 50 mg increase and don’t know what to expect.

Will I become better?

Hang in there.  I'm on 200 mg and it's now the right dose for me. Anxiety always follows an increase.

Hi avril,

Thanks - but I’m 2 weeks in on the increase. Is this normal? How’s it been for you?

Hi, Monna

The acute anxiety and depression seemed to lift quite quickly; the OCD thoughts took a lot longer but they are not as bad now.  My mood is certainly brighter.

Good luck.

Yes it’s normal at least in my case it was!

What side effects did you have and for how long, please?
