I feel so terrible I go through some days fine , then others really bad and today is bad . I have knots in my stomach , I feel like I'm being strangled . I am also on so I think this has made it 100 times worse .

Hi.
it took me at least 8 weeks to feel the benefit of it, I kept a diary on how I was feeling every day so I could see how I was doing, I'm on 25mg and have been for 5 months,
With you saying you have good days and bad sounds like they are starting to work.
Your goods day will out weigh the bad. We've all been though what you are going though, and honestly there is light at the end of the tunnel. The advice i was given is dont up your dose until this one has settled in your system then see how it goes.
go for walks, listen to calming music anything to take your mind of things.
and yes with your periods and hormone changes your anxiety will be hightened
good luck on what you decide.
it will get better given time

Hi Kelly, I would up the dose as soon as you can get over the additional side affects if you get them I didn't really when I upped from 50 to 100 then you can start feeling the benefits of the increased dose x
