Ive been in cit for about 6 weeks, 20mg for 4 weeks. Last two weeks back to normal and then on Saturday, felt heightened anxiety again, loss of appetite,etc. Got my lovely period on Sunday and am just wondering whether anyone else went backwards when getting their period?  I'm hoping this is just pms kicking in because of anxiety but could do with some reassurance. Scared the cit isn't now going to work. Do not want to increase as I know I was fine for the last two weeks, just seems a bit odd!

thank you

    I am going threw the same, I was on 20 but felt I was still not well so they put me on 30 for the last six week, and I been feeling a lot of anxiety, very anxious, my apatite is all over the place, my sweats are back, I got my period on Thursday and I am still feeling the same. Don't know if I need an increase or this will pass. Oh and I also got pretty mad muscle tension in my legs. I been on the couch for last week.

      Yes I talked to you yesterday quite a bit, youre in Canada! So even on 30 youre not feeling much better?  This is a nightmare!  Did you suffer from anxiety before ?  Ive never had it before until I had a health scare, which was fine, but I just cant seem to get rid of it now.  My legs are now ok after hurting like mad on Saturday.  Have you felt any better at all, like back to normal? x

      Hey yes I talked to you yesterday, nope I woke up this morning still anxious etc, my legs are still tender etc, I am starting to wonder if I should of stayed on 20, it could be that my dose is just little two high, but when I was on 20 I was still having anxiety. So we decided to up it to 30. Yes I went on the meds because of my sever anxiety.

    Looks like a blip, see how all goes in a weeks time, your medications need time to work and possibly at your time your body will be out of the usual
