Sorry...about that .....I would like to find out the exact reason you are stressed....is it because of the medicine or something else...if it's something else you have to relax about it....the medicine will take a while longer if you get external stressors
Hi Emilyjem, I agree with Alabi, in that it takes more than the medication to relieve
panic attacks. Getting down to the root of your stress can be helped with therapy along
side medication. xx
Hi Emilyjem,
I am on week 5 too. Started off with 5mg for two weeks, and been on 10mg for three. My doctor wants me to continue with 15mg and eventually 20mg because I keep suffering a lot. I see some improvement but not as much as I wished
