Hey all,
Is it going to be okay if my gp doubled my dose of flu after 16 weeks? Ive been taking 30 mg for 12 and prior to that i was on 20 for 4 weeks.
what should i expect?

That seems like quite a bit of a jump. Have you started yet?

i am very similar except i only on 30mg from 10 then 20 . 30 mg for 10 weeks and total 14-15 weeks . i have had some ok spells but again am down . just no motivation or confidence which is key to functioning in my life . the doctors have no idea what this medication is like for most of us so i my recommendation is to give your dose a little longer or increase much slower .
any time i go to my doctor and say things arent great yet , they want to increase , but everyone on here says to give it months to settle . lets pray tomorrow will be a step towards recovery !

I just want to add this.....When we are on "head meds" as I call them, we ABSOLUTELY need to have them prescribed by a Psychiatrist & not a GP.GP's do not have enough training in these kinds of meds & disorders such as depression & anxiety.
PLEASE people-try to get in with a Psychiatrist if you can.
Good Luck to all of us!
