Hi KMM14
I’ve been on it for ten days and it seems every morning I feel Axious , sad, and frightened, going to phone the doctor for advice Tomorrow. If I could I wouldn’t take it. However, I can’t go back to not sleeping, worrying, and driving my self mad. I pray this medication works soon. I also take 5mg Diaspam in the night. Other wise I would be wake most of the night. Sorry for the negative advice but that’s how I feel at the moment. God bless you anyway, and I hope you feel much better soon..😩🦋

Hi guys
, I'm in week 6.5 at 75mg and it does get much better. You are all right , I found the morning worse, but it gets a whole lot better, I found my mood lifted first and then the anxiety went away , when I mean away, I mean barely there ! The intrusive thought will also go on their merry way as well, but understanding them and letting them play through and no matter how bad they are, have a laugh at the end takes all that power away for them, they are after all just thoughts and your in totally control of your actions, you might not feel like you are , but you are in total control ! Hang in there, things get better, it just takes time, even my neusea is startying to get less now
yippee

I was 4 weeks at 50mg and 1 week 75mg. I felt a bit happier at the end of 4th week, but my anxiety is still the same... maybe it's just the effect of dose increase. I start to wonder whether this drug is going to help me at all..

Thank you for your positive advice greatly appreciated.
Least I don’t feel it’s only me.
Today I went to the park played with my grandchildren so that’s a start.
Didn’t even want to go out of my housee last week. So somethings improving.

So that's awesome !! Great work ! I think ppls expectations are quite unrealistic on here. You don't just take a pill and bang it's all fixed. It's a neuro transmitter, these need to build up and also ur brain needs to get us to it to. It just takes time. When ever I increase mine it takes 2 weeks to get back to normal again
but I know that and time my increases . It will get better ! But threopy is also important ! U will have good days and bad, just like any human being. If you think you are going to be happy all the time then that just is not how AD work. On ya good days get out there and really smile and enjoy yourself,and remember no one can see what ur thinking of ly you
