That's been because you are experiencing all the side effects from when you first went on it
eventually that will stabilise but not without this rough ride
did you really need to increase your dose or would you have been better promoting g self help skills coping strategies for yourself?
medication is not the sole answer
thats not meant to sound sound cruel at all
i speak from personal experience
good luck

I truely believe I had a chemical imbalance for years
I was just wondering if yr Gp would send you on one of the NHS group CBT type courses
I did one and I felt it helped
Not strong to stop me needing Cit but I employ the coping skills taught me
