    25 doesn't work for me, I know I need it higher. Therapy has been my life saver. And I got off a whole mixture of prescription drugs that I'd been on for years with therapy. But just come to the conclusion that I do need a little something med wise as well. And I've finally accepted that, it's just getting through the first few weeks of side effects that's the pain! Even though I know 25 isn't enough I have had a few better moments in my days the last few days. But the anxiety has been hell to start with. That's why I'm worried about increasing!

      I started on 50 mg back in last year sometime but I really can't remember when!! was on that for a few months then she put me up to 100ng now on 150mg. I am feeling less anxious I feel it's beginning to settle down at last but still a little in the mornings!! This time last week I really was terrible. 150mg I've been on about 3 weeks!! X
