Posted , 7 users are following.
Been feeling good one week like i am actually back to normal finally after a incorrect withdrawel 5 weeks ago, then i have night sweats, panic attacks and set backs like today feeling like i am not out of the grip of anxiety and will never get better! i am on 5mgs
Should i start upping the dose?
Stick it out and stablise longer see what happens?
quick question i was on 20mg every other day for 5yrs is that equivelant to 10mgs every day?
thanks

the math to taking 20 milligrams every other day is not the equivelant to ten milligrams.iam so surprise you lasted five years doing it this way. the math is too long write on here.best regards.and yes you are suppose to take this medicine everyday.

i took it every day for a year and noticed after a while every other day worked great sortes out heaps of unwated side effects too. back to 5mgs every day atm still not stablized tho. how do people usually get a accurate dose when cutting pills?

i never realised this either - i have taken 10mg every other day for 7 years. 6 months ago upped to 10mg one day then 5mg the next and have suffered massive side effects on just introducing an extra 5mg....scary stuff!

no it was my decision... weirdly. i often don't refer to Dr's advice as I think they're pretty ill informed on Anti d's. i knew someone who did 20mg every other day. is it a case of the brain eventually adapts. out of interest, i currrently cut my pills in half with a pill cutter and often worry that the precision of the cut differs slightly xx

hi - i'm 5 months into the extra 5mg and still a bit up & down on it. i'm not sure if inaccurate pill cutting isn't helping though - if a 5mg increase gives side effects then i'm pretty sure 1mg, here and there, will too. how do you cut your pill?

get a small stanley knife and score the tablet around then snap a clean break. works well just hsve to judge exactly what you took day before. heard peeps using super accurate scales
