My GP said she would introduce it slowly since I’m quite sensitive to mosur drugs. This is the first time I’ve yrued an SSRI. She started me at 25mg and increased at 2 weeks to 50mg, stayed at 50 for 5 weeks then increased to 75 for 2 weeks and finally 100mg. The 100 was too much for me- fatigue was heavy all day. I’m now at 50mg and doing better. I had most side effects with the increase to 50mg but only lasted a few days. It took about 3 months for my anxiety to lessen.
I was started in January for job burn out/anxiety.
Best of luck to you- it does take a good length of time to reach its full effect.
