    hi i was at 25 for a month. 37.5 for 2 month and now 2 wks of 50, increased anxiety, palpitations or shortness of breath, idn what it is, waves of nausea which calmed down a bit but has come back again today, indigestion or feels heavy after i eat a bit, aches especially shoulder and left arm, and on and off chest pain, honestly ive always suffered from health anxiety, but it wasnt as bad as this before the meds, what other physical symptons have u got.

    Hi Mandy, why are you such a high dose at day 6 ?
    • Posted

      I think the best to go up with 25 mg ...

      I've started with 25 mg ( even if they gave me 50 mg ). After 50 i think the best to go up to 75 mg and then 100 mg. But everyone is different.

      Try 75 mg for a week or so and see how that works. X

      Yes I get it now it scares me making my anxiety worse. I went and had an ECG to put my mind at rest.

      Doesn't make you feel tired ?

      I do take mine at evening. If I was you I would take a bit less ( like 75 mg ) and see how you feel. C
