5 weeks on 100mg, still struggling

Just a quick question please. Is there anybody who felt still so awful by weeks 5, like barely could cope/function, had to be laying all day, no motivation, feeling sick, full of intrusive thoughts etc,

and then had success later on, got better and could get him/herself back?

Ive been having still bad days mostly and I keep questioning myself if it is worth it to keep going, riding it out or I should make some changes? up the dose again or change the medication completely. I see other people are much better by this time, I spent 12 weeks on 50mg, 2 weeks on 75 and now 5 weeks on 100, thats 19 weeks alltogether, I find it way too much. What are your thoughts?

Thanks very much,

Kind regards,

B.

    4 weeks ......... 2 at 25 and 2 at 50. some better days, yesterday morning l felt great and probably did too much. Can barely get out of bed today, feel as though l have flu, am tired and have headache.People do vary but they say to keep going as it settles in the end but days like this make me wonder.

      Feeling great in early weeks is a good sign the med will work for you! Hang in there! I didnt have a good hour by the 4th week!
