Yes they can be side effects from your increase. Many people take melatonin to help with sleep. If you find the itching or shortness of breath getting worse please contact your doctor.
I hope this settles for you soon.
Take care

Hi star welldone in going up to 20mg, but like I said b4 and Laurie as you will always get the symptoms when you increase your med, in time, like you did last time it will get better..
Iv not had the breathless or itchy from these meds and I’m on 60mg.. but the nite sleep I do have prob with not getting much sleep, but Iv put that down to going through the menopause, as that was there b4 I started this med... you may be worrying to much and having a bit of a panic attack, try taking deep breaths and take your mind of things, it will all settle down as time goes by again, stick with it your doing brill big hug 🤗xx

Hi Star,
Sorry you were having a rough time today. Trying to keep yourself busy and your mind occupied is the best you can do for anxiety. It will get better honey. I hope you sleep well tonight. If you are comfortable, tell me where you are from. I'm off to bed. I will check in on you tomorrow. ????💤💤

Hi star, how’s things going today for you?? I don’t sleep at nite it takes me around 2/3 to fall asleep then awake after a hour, feeling very agitated, so I understand how it is for you at nite, but I think mines down to going through the menopause as not sleeped in around 3 yrs now, and only been on Prozac for five half mths, so for ME I don’t think it’s the med but the menopause..
I do hope it all settles down for you again. And I’m sure it will, keep going your doing really well, let us all know how things are going big hug 🤗x

Good morning ladies, 🤗 Well it's morning for me as I live in Ontario Canada. I chat with a few other people from the UK. It helps to know where everyone is from for the time differences. Sorry it was a crappy sleep. That is a pain. I've found I will have some good but more difficult sleep patterns. I'm going through menopause as well so it's hard to know what is causing what. I've woken that last few mornings with heightened anxiety. Ugh. I try not to give it too much thought or energy and get moving and try to busy myself. This does help most times. Do you work Star?
