I would ask your doctor to go back to 25mg then if you can't function properly or just put yourself back to 25mg and see if things feel better, go with your gut instinct.xx

Stick with it ! I know it’s the worst feeling however you just have to ride out the awful side effects but it will ease. I remember the doctor telling me the side effects can also be a good sign as it means it’s working. I started on 50mg and suffered every single side effect you could think of. I couldn’t put food near my mouth, dizzy, couldn’t get out of bed. My anxiety had tripled! Worst two weeks ever however after that this tablet has changed my life. I feel so much better and able to cope with day to day life. Always seek advice from your doctor but the side effects can differ from person to person. I think I got every side effect you can think of (typical). I remember feeling like I had to stop to the tablet as I initially felt 1000x worse but my mum told me to stick with and give it a chance (she has also been on sert)
Hope things get better for you !
