5 weeks in on 40mg. Feeling a complete mess.

Posted , 2 users are following.

ive been on 40mg for 5 weeks now. i saw a glimmer of hope last week when i had 2 better days... but since friday my anxiety has spiraled to an all time high. i really dont know what to do with myself anymore.

im thinking about gradually tapering off as this dosent seem to be helping at all.

    did you give previous doses 3 months to work? 40mg is too much for most people, and docs are clueless!

      no, i was upped pretty quickly.

      i lowered my dose down to 30 last night and im going to give that a go. i think youre right, 40 is probably way too high.

      they are also dishing me out diazepam and an antihystamine that is meant to knock you out. im not taking them.... but just goes to show... they will give you anything just to shut you up!

      im thinking about 2 weeks on 30 then go to 20 ... does that sound reasonable. i havent been able to get a dr appointment until late next week.
