Hi Nicole.

I increased my dose from 20 to 30 mg. Felt rough for a few days but now am definitely seeing the benefits, I am now on week 7. Still not 100% but so much better than I was.

Think once all the Christmas preparations are over, I will feel even better. 

Hope u soon feel better

Jenny, are you taking it for depression also? I have major depression out of nowhere. Did you get worse before you got better?

Hi Nicloe.

I am taking mine for anxiety / depression but mine too came out of nowhere.

I wondered if it was the onset of the menopause.

I did feel worse before I got better but there is definitely light at the end of the tunnel. The mornings are still my worst time but I get better as the day goes on.

I've been experiencing suicidal thoughts and just seems they have been worse the last few days sad I don't want to die I just want the thoughts gone sad

Hi Nicole, 

I did have exactly the same feelings but honestly they don't last for long, they will be one of the first things that go & gradually you will start to have a interest in things again. I still feel very tired & it took a while to get my appetite back but things are slowly getting back to normal.

Hope this helps xx

Thank you! Did you have them before you started cit? I was just worried the meds were making it worse. Do you still get them now and how long till they start to disappear?

Yes I think I did but they were worse once I started tablets. I think it was about 2 weeks before I saw an improvement but when my dosage was increased the feelings came back again. How long have you been taking them ?

The suicidal thoughts came back when you increased? I'm taking 2.5 for 8 days because I'm sensitive to meds I suppose to up to 5 but I'm scared to death to because the thoughts have been so bad the last 3 days

I would follow your Dr's advice. The tablets will eventually kick in, I know it's hard but you will eventually see the benefits. Try & stay positive, I know it's easier said than done.
