Should I increase dose?

Posted , 3 users are following.

When do you know if your dose is high enough and should I give it longer on my current one? Been on 30mg for 12 weeks and cit as a whole for 6 months. I feel better but I'm still not settled fully and still feel nervous daily. Any advice?

    I am 23 weeks on 30mg and am mentally so much better but physically I am not but I also suffer from health anxiety. Personally I would not up your dose though

      How long have you been on it all together? The reason I was thinking of upping is because I've read a lot of people have recovered after 6 months and I still don't feel right. I have periods during the day where I feel somewhat normal but mornings and evenings I still feel odd. I know you're meant to give each dose a long time but how long is long enough?

      Not too dissimilar to me then really. I don't know how much longer to give it on 30mg before upping

      I am going to stay at the same dose as many helpful people on here recommend. Some do say it can take 6 to 8 months to feel alot better so I will keep persevering
