    I'd give it some time yet, then reevaluate with your doctor. If you don't feel the benefits of dose you're on now, the doctor might raise the dose or try a different kind.

    I suspect it will take 2 to 4 weeks to bed in

    Why did u up the dose - presume anxiety or depression returning?

    In terms in planning for a further increase, I would hold fire until u be given the current dose a chance

    It took me almost 3 months on increased dose to feel better. You'll be fine!!! Remember this...if you're feeling anxious and depressed...try and live with it and be ok with it. It helps.

      the 50mg wasn't doing the job its 5 weeks I have been on the 100mg I do still have side effects but to be honest I'm feeling a lot better from where I started from and reading post on this forum is a great help in itself

      Yes I've been on 100mg for 6 weeks but prior to that I was on 50mg for 2 weeks so have been on them altogether 7 weeks now, have found I'm feeling a lot calmer although still have periods of high anxiety! But I'm definitely better than I was! Hold in there it does get better
