Ok ... 16 weeks on 50mg and took 12 weeks to feel any benefit side effects were crazy anxiety 10 fold feeling sick dizzy weak and like my head didn't belong to my body . Started to feel ok then dipped so upped dose to 100mg . Side effects came back but not as bad and felt anxious and ratty with low mood .Now on 28 days and altho still having some bad days starting to see improvements . For all fellow sufferers PLEASE be patient and let this med have time to work and it takes longer for some than others . I know your pain and frustration but it's working for me now and I didn't think it would do till I woke one morning and felt strange as the anxiety had diminished . Still not better but I have hope I soon will be 100 % again . Stay strong and carry on and inbox me if any help needed x J
