Yes, it can take up to 2 weeks to settle on a dosage change with increased anxiety symptoms at first. If u want some good news and inspiration, i remained completely back to normal on 200mg for 16 years. Pooped out 4 months ago and have now added 30mg Mirtazipane as augmentation strategy.

Well getting a puppy is the best move you've made 😃 I have a Springer Spaniel. He's 4 now but he has been sleeping in my room the last 3 months as he knows i have anxiety. When i'm well he sleeps downstairs. He comes up on his own. It's amazing how perceptive and caring dogs are. Definitely man's best friend in my opinion. Dog walks help reduce anxiety symptoms too 😃 Good luck!
