After just shy of 3 weeks on 5 mg, Doc upped to therapeutic dost of 10 mg. Took first dose today 5 hours ago, hoping for a smooth transition to the higher dose with no problems. Fingers crossed!
When you started did you notice any side affect the Doc they put me on 10mg but I was having bad panic attacks and some bad thing had happened before and I was still suffering with it
When I started at 5 mg, my only side effects were very mild fatigue and sudden, very quick waves of nausea, The fatigue had me feeling like I wanted a nap all day, but I was still able to stay awake from usually 7 AM to 10:30 PM, work through the day and even still exercise so it wasn't that bad at all, it felt worse than it was.
The nausea was intense and sudden, but always lasted for just a few seconds and I never actually got sick.
I felt a slight increase in anxiety around day 4 and 5 but nothing unmanageable.
I have felt similar feelings my first 5 days on 10 mg, but still nothing unmanageable.
I know all experiences vary, i'm fairly sensitive to medication so the 3 weeks on 5 mg to adjust I believe was very beneficial for me.
