6 and a half weeks is a long time to be struggling! glad you have little improvements though. Hopefully it keeps getting better. I just cant wait to be able to wake up without anxiety battering me to the point i wish i hadnt woken. stay strong

I hit 8 weeks on the med this week and finally feel back to my normal self! it's been a long time coming and I'm so pleased it feels to have lifted. felt insane, can think clearly now and feel myself. I'm taking 100mg. tried 150mg for a few days but felt worse, just slept all the time no motivation. it's hard but try and listen to your body if you can. the GP's don't really know.

Yeah not too bad morning the worst cannot get out of bed without it being a struggle and morning anxiety is the worst but as day goes on it gets a bit better and have had some ok evenings.
