    'BLIP' days (as I call rhem) are common for us anxiety sufferers, try not to dwell on the fact you may have regressed back, we all have them but look positively towards tomorrow. I would say it's too early to say up your dose but that's only my experience. Anxiety feeds on negative thoughts so just keep convincing yourself it will get better

    It's good you have noticed your moods have changed a sign of getting better but keep on talking on here it really helps

    Take care
