Hi,

Does anyone know if you increase a dose of your meds is it like restarting the drug and take as long to get the benefit? I'm not quite sure what the answer is to this no matter where I have looked.

Thanks.

Yes its like restarting the clock again! You have to wait 4-8 weeks for it to kick in!!!

Ah I thought it might be, I've only settled on this dose for 26days so not at the 4 weeks yet. Fingers crossed it comes through for me again x

Yes you need to give it more time!!! Its so hard waiting to feel better. Hoping it works for you, so you don't have to go through the process of changing. :hugs:

Thanks Victory, I don't know why I am so surprised after all the nonsense with dosage issues. How are you getting on? :)

I found going from 10 to20 the hardest but up to 40 easier oddly and then felt perfect within a couple of weeks xxx But my GP took me off it and am back at square one, terrified as I do get really bad start up anxiety. x But this drug has always been a miracle for me and will never come off it once I get back on it.
