Hi all out there in the scary world of anxiety.
Upped my dosage to 30mg 4 weeks ago and was beginning to fell more human gradually. Last few days have been low and anxious again. Really scared this dosage is not working. Could it be just a blip. I would have thought things might have settled after 4 weeks. Anyone with some reassuring words would be greatly appreciated xx

Hi Tamsin
Had a lot of anxiety and panic for first two weeks and generally felt dreadful. Then I had one or two good days where I felt almost normal. However this week I have been very low and down particularly in mornings and late afternoon. Beginning to panic a bit as due to go away over Christmas and don't want to feel like this. So disheartening when you have a reasonable day and then two or three ( or four or five!!) when you feel almost back to square one. Sometimes feel like throwing in the towel and wish I'd never been persuaded by doc to increase dosage. I really do wonder how much they know. I think the people on here are more clued in to all the side effects and time taken to get over this,
