    Hi Lorraine,

    I'm so sorry you feel like this. it's awful isn't it. I took 10mg for 5 days and it has completely messed me up too. I have been off for 3 weeks now, and I am still feeling rubbish with anxiety. I am hoping it passes soon. I have totally had enough. Please know that you are not on your own with this. there are quite a few people who haven't reacted well to it and have been in the same position. I took this med to help me feel better, after the one I was on became less effective and had a fair few side effects. But I've ended up feeling worse.

    Take care of yourself, I hope you start feeling better.

      still feeling anxious and on high alert! speaking to doc on friday. not sure if brave enough to try something else! would rather feel better on nothing. i suffer bad tinnitus and that doesnt help the anxiety !!
