Hey guys just checking in. Curious if anyone else is having an increase of depression around week 6, i take 75mg right now i plan on upping to 100mg in a couple weeks. I find it nearly impossible to wake up, I lay in bed for a good 14 hours a day. My anxiety has improved but now im very depressed. I hope it actually improves or ill have to quit the medication because im way too tired/lethargic all the time. Atleast with anxiety i was more energetic.

    Aw Dylan hugs.  I think your body is exhausted and if you need to sleep then that’s what you need to do.   Depression is exhausting and the changes in your meds will take time to settle and for you to feel the benefit.  At least you know you have seen it start to work so better days will come.   X
