    Hi Sue,

    Do you continue to have anxiety is that why you’re going up?

    When I saw my GP last week she suggested 75mg then 100mg too.  

    I’m one week on 75 and do still have some residual anxiety but want to give it longer before upping.

    Let us know how you do.  Xo

    Hi Sue. I upped from 50 to 100 last week. Had a few days of some side effects but for the most part they've subsided a week later. Hope it helps

      Hi Sue,

      How are you doing on 100mgs?

      I’m at 12 days of 75mg but anxiety isn’t settling so I think i’ll Increase today to 100mg.

      I’m now at 7 weeks in total with gradual increases- 8 if including the 25mg start.

      Hope to hear how you’re doing xx

      Tammy
