wendy, its highly likely your anxiety will initially go up, when starting an anti depressant, or increasing your dose. doesnt always happen. anxiety symptoms are varied. normally starts to calm down a bit after a few weeks. you may feel worse, but try to believe the symptoms are not dangerous or serious, although they may feel like it. you are starting on a very low dose, so you are not in an danger. increased anxiety when starting is completely normal, and eventually it will calm down. each person reacts differently.

yes i went through all the side effects you are experiencing . I started to feel better after about 6 weeks and felt a lot better afterwards. I tried 5 different ssris before venlafaxine and this is the best one for me .
