On 75 mg XR but my anxiety is through the roof

Treatment and medication
1

Hi everyone. I'm a long time sufferer of anxiety. This past year, we had a family crisis and recently it just got worse. I want to increase my dose from 75 to 112.5.

I've been reading about all of the possible side effects of increased anxiety, etc. Typically, everyone gets bumped up to 150 but want I want to try a different approach. ... Just in case I every get better and I decide to wean off....

I'm taking trazadone at night to sleep, which works, but I wake up with anxiety every single rotten morning. I have no relief.

Has anyone done this and did you have success? Are there are effects of bumping up? Please advise, in so exhausted!

Hi Tammy, I'm not sure of the actual dose that I started on but I now take 225mg every morning. Also, I didn't have side effects. Increasing you dose should hopefully help with your anxiety. Donna xxx
