sorry to write again so soon, but just need some words of encouragement. I have had a bad few days, and cant see any end to it. Why do we have a couple of OK days, then bang back down again, what caused this. I am off work at the moment, but try and keep myself busy, although the last couple of days i am struggling to find any motivation,

HI Val
Had two quite good days with the morning anxiety not lasting long at all. Sleeping a lot better too. I am really hoping that this is recovery on the way and I dont have a dip later in the week. Also eating better as have lost a stone in last two months and I was skinny to start with so hoping weight will start to go back on. Still have chronic tinnitus which makes me feel occasionally dizzy but hey ho. Hope you are seeing some relief. xx

hi Sue, Good to hear you are feeling a little better, I am having a few bad days. I feel like I will never feel better, I dont know whether to reduce my dose.

Hi Val
So sorry you are having some bad days. Difficult decision as to whether to reduce your dose as you have now been on it for over 7 weeks. Maybe go down to 25 for a few weeks to see if there is any improvement? I certainly wouldnt go straight down to 20 in one go. I have been on my 10 mg for over 12 weeks and only just seeing positive changes and I am lucky not to suffer from depression, just anxiety. YOu are going through further side effects from increasing. It is so easy to say to someone you will get better eventually but when you are feeling so rough it is difficult to see light at the end of the tunnel, but hang in there and I am sure you will see little glimmers of improvement soon. xxx
