    Hi Don

    Yeah things have been kinda ok Im about 80% there, the head is getting better, Now dont get me wrong I have the odd day that I feel pretty bad but I come around as the day goes by. The one thing that I have found was that my anxiety has been pretty high since I upped to 100mg but it has only been 3 weeks so will give it a few more weeks to level out. I have to go back to my Gp in two weeks so I will see what she has to say, I have been keeping myself busy also so it takes my mind off the over thinking and getting a fair amount of fresh air. How have things been for you?

      Michael.  I was interested in the head thing.  I too have a strange feeling in my head.  Not sure how to explain it, foggy, tension maybe like a hangover feeling.  Not sure.  How would you describe yours?

      Hi Lynda

      The head thing that I used to have was best decribed as a fog, I would try to think but my mind would not let me and then sometimes I would be overthinking, the mornings were the worst as I would wake up with a hangover(no drink taken) and it would take half the day to lift, but in the last week or so things have improved, I no longer wake up feeling hungover and the mind almost 80% clear but my anxiety has been pretty bad in the mornings since I upped to 100mg.

      Hi don

      Yeah the fog thing will pass but the overthinking I dont know as we would need to ask someone that has been on sert longer than us, Im the same getting better but still have a bit to go, my anxity is still pretty high but eases off as the day goes by, I find that when I take my tablet it can get pretty high about a hour later,(I take mine at 9 pm so most of the effect happen when I am asleep)
