I have been on 10mg for the past 5 weeks and my GP has now increased to 20mg because I am still anxious and cannot sleep very well. Gp said that I should not feel any side effects as the 10mg dose is now well into my system, but today I feel grim, shaky, shoulders and headache, tired I assume this IS because of the increased dose.
Anyone else had this experience when increasing from 10 to 20mg.

Yes you will feel side effects with every increase - everyone does. It may not be as difficult as the initial first dose you took, but you'll definitely feel a bit yuk for a while. The meds (and increases) do heighten anxiety for a while, but it does settle, and it does affect sleep for a while.
These meds are good - everyone reacts differently to them though. I recovered on 20mg.

Hello Dolgoch, hope you are feeling better. I have been on 10 mgs for twelve weeks and increased to 20 mgs a few days ago. I have been experiencing some uncomfortable side effects, i.e. lethargy, anxiety and a somewhat down mood. I expect side effects for a little while but have high hopes for the result I am hoping for. Just to be happy, functional and supportive to my family. I accept that there is a rough patch to go through but will prevail. I am going up to 30 mgs next mid week and hope to stay there until I achieve my goal. Always remember that we are in this together and the odds are in our favour. I have been told by Medical Professionals and Psychologists that the success rate is very high on this medication. Good Luck 😉
