You need to allow five weeks for the medication to get into your system.What is causing your anxiety today ?

Yes, keep going. It takes around 6-8 weeks to settle down. You will have some side effects but rest when you can.

You could talk to your prescriber about dropping down to 5mgs for awhile and work your way up to 10mgs. Hang in there.

Thinking of you, but keep going. It will take some time to adapt.

How are you doing? Are you still taking the medication

[veerabala in reply to FearIsALiar]

Yes I am taking 10mg per day, now I don't have any of those side effects I don't see any big improvement but I hope I will get better

[FearIsALiar in reply to veerabala]

It takes time, give it 6-8 weeks. If no improvement talk to your GP

[veerabala in reply to FearIsALiar]

Sure I will thank you
