    Hi Don,every time you change your dosage your brain and body has too get used to the medication again ,so It might take longer than 6 weeks for this medication .I would suggest 8/10 weeks weeks each time you change dosage.Why are you changing your dosage.

    Changing from 40 to 30 is a huge jump. This would explain why your withdrawal effects are bad.

    I have increased from 30 to 40 since last Thursday and I am still having bad days. Today is a bad day. I have been diagnosed as suffering from a severe episode of Health Anxiety. How long will it take for my new dose to increase?
