    Stick with it a little while longer . I think your system will be trying to cope with all increases. This med takes time to work .

      It took me 10 weeks on 50mg for the anxiety to lift and I have done tons of research on this drug . I'm still not 100 % after 13 weeks but hell of alot better than I was . I would take hope in the fact you have had a couple of good days . I understand your doubts as I started to lose hope after 8 weeks with no real improvement but stuck with it .
