Hi john. Stick with it. It will get better. Don't up the dosage yet. Your mood will lift. Ann

Hi john, I remember you posting a little while ago saying you were struggling with anxiety and tiredness on the 50mg. I'm happy that it looks like that's subsided now for you.
i would probably wait til 8 weeks then if your mood has not improved go to the doc and see if they think the 100 is needed.
Im currently 5 1/2 weeks into 150mg and everyday I experience anxiety still. Some days are manageable and dare I say it, ok. Then I'll have a blow out and freak all day and night. I'm waiting til 8 weeks til I go back to the docs. It's hard but I feel i need to have given it the recommended time.
fingers crossed for you x

Hi Kerry
Thanks for the reply and yes I remember you too.
I am still struggling a bit with tiredness but it's manageable altho I'm usually in bed by 9pm and I still have a few days of anxiety but not as bad by far as what you seem to have and my heart goes out to you . Feel a bit ratty and still not looking forward to doing anything. Will see Xmas thru and see how I am after that .
Keep in touch xx
