Please give it 2 more weeks, I had the same thing you are going through, I had so much nervous energy, couldn't sit still and couldn't concentrate on anything. Once you system gets adjusted to the right dosage, the symptoms will subsided. I'm been on it for years, and just upped my dose because of perimenopause.

I know that any anxiety med take 2-3 months to really work. Give it time and know that things will get better.

yes .... you have to slowly taper off them but then all the same issues come back .i know the hrt patch made me calmer. i am going through mono abd meno at the same time so been super super tough for me . think the patch has kept me stable
