Hey everyone I was wondering if anyone else has had the same side effects as me. Im on day 5 of increased dose and I wake up feeling shaky and muscle tightness. My anxiety is pretty high in the mornings. I was on 20 mg for about 3 years before this and needed to be upped due to anxiety attacks and crying. Is this just the side effects or whats going on?
