Hi. Yes this is normal and still early days. I found when I increased I would feel rubbish for a couple of days. The first 2 to 3 weeks are the worst. Stick with the 20mg. I'm now on 40mg and doing so much better. It takes time. Just tell yourself it's the meds making you feel this way and not you. You will improve x

Thanks for your replies, yes Diane a foggy brain, that's a good way of putting it, for someone who has never suffered with anxiety or depression this is all new to me, its like am detached from real life and just going through the motions of everyday life, fumbling to get through each day. Am 2 weeks in so hoping to see a improvement soon, also am probley only eating one meal a day, cant face food, is this also normal ???X

Nausea/poor appetite are usually the first side effects to go for me, the foggy brain will clear gradually. I'm a month in and I'm getting short periods of being with it if you get me, as you adapt to the meds these periods of normality get longer. It's a slow process but worth it.
