Hi. I've been on 75 mgs for over 13 years, had a major life event and my anxiety skyrocketed. I'm now on 150 mg. I wasn't experiencing any side effects and started feeling the effects of the increased dose at about week 2. The past few days I've been having breakthrough anxiety throughout the day and now it's back in the morning. I hope this evens out. because I can't bear to think of weaning off this and starting something else or even increasing my dosage again.

Has this happened to anybody and what was your outcome.... did you stay on the 150 and did your anxiety go away completely after your increase
