    I would stick it out a little longer, you need to count from the start of the 75 when you upped your dose.

    We all wish it would work right away. I know that I do. It will get easy I have come a long way from september. I am so glad I stuck it out.

      I started at 25 then after 6 days went to 50 and after 5 weeks to 75 and have been on that now for about 4 weeks. So far so good. I can feel a little anxiety at times but it is controllable.

      I have learned to stay away from caffeine that makes my panic and anxiety really bad. So I would stay away from that if you are a caffeine person.

      Il give the 75mg a bit longer  . Sometimes i have moments of good feelings of the way things used to be its nice when that happens .  I dont touch caffeine i havent had a coffee or coke in over 5 years   but i would loveto be able to have a coffee again lol
