How long did it take people to recover?

6 months in and have come such a long way but I'm still not 100% and still feel anxious most days to some extent. Some days worse than others. How long did it take people to recover and be anxiety free all day?

    What dose are you taking? I am 5 and a half months in and now on 30mg for 4 months and alot better mentally although physically I still struggle with fatigue, muscle aching, twitching and sore eyes. I have come a long way as was off work for 3 months and suffered debilitating panic attacks. I also suffer with health anxiety too so the physical symptoms do not help at all. I am back to work now and have been since the beginning of November. I also had major swallowing problems which have improved but I still find it uncomfortable. I have good days and some not so good but am generally alot better but as you do want to feel back to my normal self,sometimes I now wonder what that is like now.

      I am on 30mg to and much like you I have improved a lot. Unfortunately I have constantly tense sides and a knot in my stomach. I am so hoping that it eases off eventually but I'm grateful that I'm now back to some sort of normality. I have been on 30mg for 11 weeks and cit as a whole for 6 months

    Anyone else got any time frames for recovery they wish to share? I am so up and down throughout the day. I wake up in the morning feeling a little anxious then throughout the day it come and goes in waves and it seems to come back consistently in the evenings. I had a couple of really good weeks a month ago and then had a bit of a blip that I can't seem to shake off
