Recovery comes in patches so your mood may well be up and down for a while.
You may get side effects again when you increase your dose. Â Increasing your dose doesn't make you get better any quicker. Â There's no quick fix, but it will happen. Â You just need lots of patience.
I'm on Citalopram, similar to Flu, but my son is on Fluoxetine. Â I've taken SSRI's for many years and have reduced from 20mg to 5mg now. Â My son is on 40mg.
Just take things slowly. Â You can't hurry recovery - it'll come to you in its own time.

It saddens me to see so many people suffer with this horrid illness.

Its devastating enough to suffer with this illness, but was doubly worse when my son became victim of it last year. Â Broke my heart watching him. Â He was off work about 4 months and took him around 6 months to start getting back on top, and is now well again.
Yes my initial problem was anxiety then depression set in too. Â My son too had the same.
You'll get there xxx
