Hi all. How long after an increase do it take for the side effects to ease or at least to feel better. X x x

    Hi Rachael. I increased from 50 to 100 on the 20th last month and I'm still feeling the heightened anxiousness in the mornings and the occasional restless legs while laying down but it seems to be getting better. Still don't always have an appetite but I am starting to get hungry at least.

    What kind of side effects are you dealing with and for how long?

      Hi Frankie!  Glad it is getting better. Heightened anxiety and can’t keep still. Tense jaw and having trouble sleeping. I am taking sleeping tablets to help with sleep. Hope it settles soon. X x x

      Frankie,

      Now I don't feel like I'm alone! I thought I would be over the morning anxiety by now!

      Me too. It seems to be subsiding sooner each day so hoping another week or so it'll be at least manageable. Hope yours is also getting more tolerable!

      Today has been a bad day. I've felt more anxious all day long! I'm hoping it passes quickly because the past few days have been great. Today is horrible!

      Some days seem to be better than others for me as well. I think some of it might be tied to diet but I'm not 100% sure if that's accurate
