    Hey Dora

    I'm on same dose and have been for 2 weeks for anxiety

    I'm feeling the same with many other stmptoms which isn't helping my anxiety

    I've been told give it 6-8 weeks and this drugs slow  release so I'm trying to stick it out and see what happens

    My anxiety has been worse but also been told this can be the case, it gets worse possibly before better

    Good luck and let me know if you have any other questions

    Your not alone thankfully for this forum

    I'm trying to ride it out but gee it's hard

    Also started my 50mg last Friday. First 3 days horrible headache, then started stomach problems (pain and diarrhea). Hope this will stop soon, otherwise I would have to quit.
