Hi all, I've been suffering anxiety mostly physical symptoms and panic attacks for about 6 weeks now. Saw some relief whilst on 50mg but then went downhill again so got put up to 100mg. Been on these 10 days now and whilst I feel a little brighter, still not at all right. I was on 150mg previously for years so thinking I may need a higher dose. Anyone else have similar dosage issues??

Cheers

      I agree, my appetite has been bad with this anxiety, just try and pick at food, small bits, think a large plate a bit daunting. I was up to 150mg previously for years, and felt fine and functioned well, spoke to doc today, but I gotta stay on 100 a bit longer b4 they'll put me up. Said it would increase my anxiety too much if rushed. Still getting tight chest and panicky, just gotta ride it out. I had the scared feeling all day yesterday.
