    Similar experience. 75mg for close to 10 years for anxiety. Increased stress last 3 months and anxiety break through so I upped dose by 37.5mg to 112.5 mg 3 weeks ago. Increased anxiety morning (I take it at night) and stomach pain. Still waiting to feel less stressed (worrying, intrusive thoughts and stomach pain). Any improvement on your side? I am also perimenopausal on cusp of menopause at 50 so unsure if hormones playing a role (I am not on HRT).
