I haven't posted for a few weeks just been getting on with life, but feel like progress has hit a level. Started on 10 mg in December last year after panic attacks and intense anxiety upped to 20 mg in February due to still feeling anxious. Have had some better days on and off and now having classic anxiety early morning very uneasy and waking early, waves up and down during day thoughts being the worse, will this ever get better while I can't stop thinking about it, easing in the evening. I know it takes time and I am trying to accept this is how I am at the moment. Has anyone else been like this, should I give it more time or up to 25/30 mg, doctor says its up to me, although 20mg is still a low dose. Don't want to up it if it won't help with thoughts and I just need to give it more acceptance time!! Hope this makes sense

    Hi All how's it going I'm still finding it hard to lift spirits again these setbacks really knock the confidence. On checking tablets think I may of taken a double dose about a week ago wondering if that maybe reason anxiety increased20x2=40, can't be totally sure could just be me?? How have others lifted themselves??
