Hi what dose are you on? When i changed my dose from 10mg to 20mg i also started with the muscle twitching! My GP says its a normal common side effect and it is listed as a common side effect in the leaflet. It should wear off, 13 is early days and your anxiety will be worse before it gets better. If the twitching doesn't subside after a few months i believe it could mean the dose it too high for your body as everyone tolerates these meds differently x

Two weeks is not nearly enough time. Give it three months without changing the dose before you change anything.

Hi

I'm on the first day of week 12 and still get side effects and anxiety and crying
just not like on the beginning when starting . Are u seeing changes if so u seen it work already
it took me a long time to see any thing chance 😡 it was hard and I would not think it works for me
but now I see some so I will continue to stay on it
I hope it gets better for u down the ways let me know if u like we are here for u

Not at 6 weeks but the first 2 weeks. And I love food! It felt bizarre to not want to eat.
