Please can anyone understand where I am coming from ? Been on cipralex 10mg for nearly a year and have felt constantly exhausted since I have been on them. Never feel like I wake up !!! Now GP is suggesting upping dose to 2mg as been suffering with anxiety a bit more lately since ear infection. Am scared to up dose as if it is the cipralex making me tired surely double the dose will make me just doubley tired ??

Help !! Any advice please ???

Also when you up the dose does all the original side effects come back ??

Thanks

I am too, very tired at times and feel spaced out, but it has helped my anxiety and I am living my life again now

Take care

Hi Katies,

I take cipralex too and sometimes have a nap in the day which i find helps, but do not sleep well at night sometimes. It is a vicious circle, but I would persevere as I have found this drug has had a really good effect on my panic symptoms.

Good luck with upping your dose, I am sure it will be fine
