    ive been on 100 mg for 5 months and just started to get headaches so am thinking of reducing my dose to see if that helps its so hard isnt it

    but I think it sounds like you do need to increase a bit

    i know people say its a very delicate balance but it might be worth a 25mg increase ?

    best speak to your gp to get approval, i did she increased , to 150mg with gp permission , it did help , there were no increased side effects. If you do it alone and you do have side effects youll regret it , as i tried it when i was so low and i was anxious.

    hope this helps.
