Hello :-)

Maybe give it a couple more weeks and if you are feeling the same as now speak with your Doctor , at this stage they possibly would say try it a little longer as it can take a few months to get the full effect :-)

Take Care x

Hello :-)

Most of us are like that you are not alone thinking that way , I think that is part of anxiety , and the other part is trying to retrain our thinking easier said than done I know but you will :-)

Let us know how you get on :-) x

I agree, give it more time, it gets far worse before it gets better with me. I have been on 20 mg daily for years but recently upped my dosage to 40 mg daily and it took me a good 2/3 weeks to stabalise to the higher dosage.
