      just horrendous dr increased from 20mg to 40mg two weeks ago but symptoms are much worse of anxiety, shaking and feeling sick. Think I must stop them as now14 weeks from start and if anything I am worse. How quickly can I come off them.

    Hey I know its 5 months old post but just curious did it work for you. I m on 40 mg son e last 12 weeks the anxiety has reduced by 40% but I feel more depressed now and the OCD still hasnt settled much. Should I be continuing or just give it up I m confused.
