Has anyone been on 100mg with minimal help for depression but then moved up to 150mg and felt much better and nearly back to normal... enjoying stuff again?

HI ,
I started on 50mg 17 months ago and i ve seen very little improvment , then we upped the dose to 100mg and i was feeling the same .
When we upped to 150mg 4 months later finally I felt a lot better .
I am currently on 200mg and feel a lot better. i have a few bad days here and there but in general i feel good.
i was suffering from depression and anxiety .

I take it you were on 100mg for 4 months.
iv been on 100mg 6 weeks up from 50mg. I have got an improvement but still have problems .
I was hoping this dose in time would bring me back to normal.
Thank you for your input.
I will see how I am after 4 months.

That's great, thank you. You were very patient and took time with upping your doses but finally got there. So did you wait 4 months on 150 to feel first improvements?

Hi!
150mg is the dose I take for anxiety- 100mg just wasn't enough. It took time and patience, but I am doing much better.

Hi Bethany, did you suffer with low mood as well? Did it take a long time to feel better after the increase?
