100mg which will be three weeks on that in 3 days. I believe it has made me much worse but I am not sure because I have constantly been dealing with side effects. The derealization I get from it has increased my anxiety and I am much more depressed. I never feel right and have become very withdrawn. Has anyone had a weird experience where they stuck it out and things got better or they went off of it and things improved? It has been a hell of a ride on this and I want to wait it out but I am suffering very much. Thank you

I did feel out of it, spaced out when I was on them. I came off them, did feel a bit down afterwards but I'm so much more rational now. I'm thinking more clearly, and therefore making better decisions about what will help with my mental wellbeing.
