Hello

Almost 7 weeks ago i increased my daily dose to 100mg from 50mg (after 2 months at the 50mg dose). I had been feeling a lot better - less anxious, better sleep, but on increasing the dose all of the initial side effects returned. The physical symptoms have largely abated now but I have felt quite agitated and very easily irritated, and on edge, and my interest in sex has fallen off a cliff - has anyone else experienced this when increasing the dose? How long did it last? Should I wait a little longer or could the dose just be too high?

Thanks!
