    this happened me too and one day it was like just back at the start with a bang. could have increased dose but the side effects were such a problem for me even at 50mg so i didnt. i swithced to lexapro and it seems to have suited me much better. youre prob best with a dose increase at this stage and go from there. i know how you feel its awful 😦
