Been on increased dose from 100 to 150 for two weeks no real worsening of any side effects just same as i was still unmotivated depressed not so much anxious as much but last couple of days the old anxious feeling in chest and head is coming back how long before an increase starts to settle and work.Was on 50 for 13 weeks and 100 for 10 weeks.Is this normal to go backwards as i had an ok week last week been on this over 6 months maybe i need a change in meds.

    My situation was pretty similar, I'm reducing mine now because I have felt much better and feel confident I can cope with my anxiety and low moods.

    The experience I had was similar I did not feel any difference from 50mg to 100mg apart from feeling worse and more low moods. I know saying it is different for everyone. I asked my doctor if it was normal and she said it takes at least six months to fully kick in to your system. I would say that you should start feeling better soon, I have been on 150mg for 7-8 months and I'm stick of feeling crap especially at the weekend so taking advice from a friend who works in mental health I am reducing mine safely.
