    It will settle. If you increase again please only go up by 25mg. It softens the blow a little.

    And it does need time. This is a slow acting drug but it does work if you persevere.

    Are you drinking loads of water and cutting down on coffee?

    Good luck

      You need to break a 50mg in half.

    Hi Kells.  Yes I constantly think it’s never gonna get better but we need to remember that’s our anxiety and depression talking it’s not the truth.   It sounds like your side effects are normal and the same as the rest of us, I’m not on 100 I’m on 50 but it’s still the same rubbish side effects.   They will settle in time.  X
