Hi. It's been almost a month since I've increased from 75 to 150. I had an extreme life event that 75 did not touch and my Dr and I thought it best to increase. At first, within a week, I felt better. Or it might have been that my anxiety and panic just naturally stopped I don't know. I do know that with every increase, you will experience some side effects just as you may have when you first started the medication. That being said, I'm also menopausal and one of those lucky women that anxiety and panic gets worse during meno. So I've been keeping track and I've noticed that every month I have heightened anxiety for several days.
But for you, your side effects should start to diminish after about 2-3 weeks. Drink plenty of water, exercise is a must!!! and no caffeine. I pray a lot, read devotions, regular church goer. All of these things help me. Find something you like to do regularly and do that until this passes. You'll be okay, just be patient. God bless you!
