As you know i was recently taking 5mg of Cipralex, the doctor decided to up my dose to 20mg, by taking 10mg for 3 days, then 15mg for 3 days and then starting on 20mg.

Well at the moment i am on 15mg and due to start 20mg tomorrow, i was wondering if going up like this from 5mg to 20mg will make me feel worse initially? and make me alot more anxious and panic more?

The reason i ask is i know when you start medication you get side effects and feel worse for the first week or two, is this the same when upping doses?

Thanks.
