Just so you know, for me, going up to 20mg was very difficult and I failed the first time and went back down to 10mg and sat there for 3 weeks. Once I no longer had any side effects or anxiety, I went up again to 20mg and though I did notice a few odd things, nothing was as bad as the initial increase to 20mg. My doctor even said I could sit at 10mg for a month if I wanted to, not to rush my body through it and it wouldn't be as difficult.
