      I've heard that anxiety gets worse before getting better with these tablets so lose hope just yet. What dose are you taking?

      Did you have many side effects increasing to 100mg ? I increased 6 days ago and was exhausted for the first 4 days like no energy at all and just wanted to stay in bed but I feel as though that has lifted a little and have been a pretty good mood the last two days

      Hi Susan I was originally on 50mg but have increased to 100mg last week. What dose are you on ? How are you feeling today after your first dose ?

      Hi missunshine . . . I'm actually doing a cross taper from mirtazapine to sertraline so last night was 25 mg mirtazapine and 25 mg sertraline . . . I felt a little spaced out this morning, a little nauseous too but I think that's normal after reducing one and starting another . . . hopefully it will work for me.  Is it working for you?

      How are you finding it . . . are you doing a switch or are you taking both regularly?

      That's good to know, I'm really pleased for you.    As today has gone on I feel very tired but I suppose that will pass as I get used to them.
