    This is normal. It takes time for your dose to adjust.

    I've been on them for 20 yrs now and still have days that I feel it's coming back but then it stabilizes.

    I haven't had a episode in about 5 yrs.

    Hang in there. Are you taking Ativan or clonosapam with it to help?

      I asked the doc last time for something to help with the increased anxiety but he told me sert didnt cause side effects.i knew this was bs but i wasnt in the right frame of mind to have a discussion about it.im sure proprananol or something would help but the doc wont give me anything...i rang to get a docs appointment today but the first time they can see me is next thursday.to say i feel let down is an understatment.

      thanks for the replies they realy help me know im not alone in all this.
