    Every time you up a dose it can take 6-8 weeks, is like starting all over again, it's what I been told.

    Hi,

    I had mine increased also from 100 to 150 a couple of days ago. I have definately slept better but getting headaches and feeling a little sick on and off. Also feeling a bit spaced out! Hoping it will only last a little while but on saying that it's not too bad, I can carry on as i normally do.

      Hi, did your new level make you tired? Have headache but so far so good, having said that its only day 2. But I will take it one day at a time. T'u

    Dear Jean,

    Yes, tired and a little spaced out. Today I feel better than yesterday. No headaches and less hot flushes. I think we just need to give it time and I think it will be all worth while😁

    Hi Jean ,

    I feel absolutely fine now. My main problems were anxiety and hot flushes. Both have almost gone now! Mind you I am on holiday in Barbados at the moment which I'm sure helps!😁

    How are you?
