Anxiety?

I have been on 70mg in the morning and 70mg at night for a week now and it seems to be making my anxiety much worse instead of helping it.

I am on edge, worrying incessantly and feel unable to relax at all.

Has any one else found this has happened and does it wear off after you have been on it for a while?

    I have been taking Lofepramine for about 5 months now and have also noticed an increase in my levels of anxiety, to the point where I find it very difficult to relax at all now. I spent all night painting my hallway a few weeks back because I couldn't relax enough to sleep and it's also why I am writing on websites at 2.30am!

    I do feel they are helping with my depression more than anything I have tried before though so don't want to stop taking them. They have just increased my dose from 140mg to 210mg so I will probably be climbing the walls soon!! Haven't noticed it calming down at all yet I'm afraid.
