      Don't worry. You will get back to how you were feeling. Alway takes a few weeks for body to metabolise and get used to dose reduction or increase. I completely get you. I'm a 46 year old man with 2 kids and a wife and was on the phone crying to my mum only weeks ago and now i feel much better. You will get better and be the old husband and father you used to be. Anxiety only happens to decent people and what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger 😉
