Anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts are a common side effect of this drug. Your dose may be too high but your GP or psychiatrist will most likely tell you that you need to increase your dose to deal with your symptoms. Please do your research before adjusting your dose as it can be incredibly difficult to taper off this drug. xx

depending what mg you are on when symptoms start again could mean you may need an increase I started on 37 1/2 mg gradually increasing over time to 300 mg .also taking the tablets at the same time each day helps .hope this is useful .

hi dawn thanks for replying, I've had a bad cold for 3 days, I think it's down to that. I definitely take meds at same time every day. I have improved a lot since April due to being on other AD that made me worse.. I've been off work for 3 months.. I go back on monday, only for few hours a day. I'm only on 75mg at the moment. I still have symptoms but not has bad has it was in April. I have more energy, sleep for 9 hours, ect. maybe it needs more time, will see my Psychiatrist soon.. it's a horrible journey recovering.. Thanks.
