    Hi Margaret, I'd perhaps give it another week or two and if there's no improvement go back to your GP, alternatively if you don't want to wait again go see your GP for a review of med or dose.

    You'll get there!

    Wouldn't advise upping your dose. Lots of things take while to kick in . Sounds as though it's having some effect but doesn't last long . Tell doctor exactly that you may need to try something different. Please don't upbyour dose without asking him. I'be gone through hell with meds in past . Eventually doctor worked out best plan alongside h self help. I still get anxiety but if treated right doesn't have to be living hell. Please ask docs advice??
