Going from 10mg to 20mg
Posted , 5 users are following.
Been on 10mg now for 18 days and really stuggling still. Feeling anxious (big time), sweating, struggling to sleep, want to die etc. Thinking I should maybe go to 20mg and see if that helps. I know it's still early days as I'm not even 3 weeks in yet but just really struggling with how things are at the moment. I'm roudly sh1ttin@ myself at the thought of having more/worse side effects as the ones I've got are bad at the moment but feel I may be getting the side effects without much benefit at the moment.
Any thoughts?

I know how you are feeling! I have been on an increased dose for 5 weeks - I think you will find things will slowly improve but sometimes other people around you notice before you do. 5 weeks in and my side effects are definitely better than they were and I've noticed some improvement but lots of people out there have said it can take up to 8 weeks before everything settles down.
Good luck x
