Hi

Been on 50mg for near 15 weeks now and was wondering to get the dose upped to 75mg so give me an extra lift . Has anyone got any experience in this ?

    Hi John

    I just upped my dose last week to 75 and it definitely has helped a ton. I have less anxiety and bad thoughts. Will continue on 75 for a while and if needed I’ll go to 100.

    Yes. I have been on 50 since October and I was still having anxiety attacks. The gp said to go to 100mg. I upped it to 75 for 2 weeks and been on 100 for a week now. I feel better and I have not suffered any side effects. When I started on 50, I was bed ridden for 3 weeks.i have my energy back at last.
