    Hi Alison, I can say I feel the same but I've felt awful for so long I am prepared to go through this stage. A slight improvement in my anxiety so it seems worth hanging on. ImIm in my 5th week.

    It's not easy, but I live in hope😊

      Hi Angie. I am willing to put up with it but it scares me that I cant think properly!

      When would you say your anxiety started to improve and did it get worse when you increased it to 40 mg?

      It's only been last couple of days I've felt a difference, and when I went up to 40 mg that's when it got bad. I am far from well but at the moment every little difference matters.

      I hope this helps, think we're in for the long haul X
