    I'm same mate went up to 150mg 7 days ago, anxiety through roof, chest tightness all day, feel like could scream, head full of anxiety. Hoping they will just kick in soon. Or maybe I'm on too higher dose who knows. I gotta speak gp again, that's all we can do really.

    I had the same. When I increased to 100mg I felt awful, had constant sweating, especially at night, tinnitus and my anxiety was through the roof. I stuck it out for 12 weeks and couldn't hack it anymore, so did a month at 75mg and now have been on 50mg for nearly 3 weeks. I feel so much better!

    I have had some dizziness, muscle pain and headaches but overall the withdrawal symptoms haven't been too bad!
