      When did you start to feel better ? Did it take the whole 3 months and did it come in waves ?

      The first two weeks on 40mg was very VERY tough.  Around week three i started to feel better and could sense my panic decreasing.  At week 6 i still continue to progress but it comes in waves.  I'll have a couple bad days or serious panic attacks before getting myself back together and feeling "normal" again.

    I've been on 20mg for 5 weeks and just increased to 30 and feel like I've gone back to square1. I know you get side effects when increase but how long will they last?

    I was on 20mg for a year then increase to 40mg 5 weeks ago. The side effects are worse the second time around. Not feeling better yet, but not feeling worse either. Only the side effects kicking my ass
