    I had increased in dosage over the years from 50mg to 200mg. On week one of being completely off it, which is a whole other issue. But even on the 200mg, when things were better, I still found myself getting anxious here and there for no reason. I would have to stop myself and question why I was so anxious. I found that just telling myself that things were fine and there was nothing going on to be anxious about (if there was nothing happening in my life to warrant it), I was able to talk myself down. But that was on the higher dosage. Good luck!

    Upped to 100mg. Similar experience.
