Hi, I just recently(about a week or so ago) increased from 50mg to 100mg, my question is does the increase take 6-8 weeks to start working like when you first start, or does it take less time then that to start feeling the results on an increase? Looking forward to the usual great feedback!! Thank you.

    For me, when I increased from 50 to 100mg it took just a week or two to feel physical improvement.  Also I had no further side effects with the increase.

    I’m in my 5th week of 100mg but was only on 50mg for a week. Still waiting for really noticeable improvements but I don’t need Valium as often which is a good sign and I’m getting better at controlling anxiety and panic. But doctor says 6-8 weeks so I just keep going. I’d say you’re nearly there as you would have had a build up already in your system. Keep going. What strong amazing people we are ❤️
