Anxiety rising 10mg..

[pollynewsome]

Hello guys.. Anxiety been kinda undercontrol for a while now but just this last week not been great. Infact dreadful. Not sure whether to increase to 20mg or try and work through it at 10mg. Got to be honest it's very painful. My main prob is the need for a deep breath and struggling to get it and then neck arms shoulders and chest all tightening up and then aching like mad. Just feel so tight and need a really good massage. Any suggestions. No reason for the increased anxiety. X

Hi Dizzydoll. It's such hard work isn't it. I had stopped doing relaxation so I'm going to start that up again and going try exercise more. I'm going back to docs next week if no easier and get there advice. Don't really wanna increase and was hoping to come off it but the physical symptoms cause so much pain it's hard to enjoy things.

How long you been on 10mill.?

[pollynewsome]

Hi lulu about 5 months I think . X

[Lulu1960]

I think you should give it longer. I recovered on ten and it took me 8months. And in between I had quite a few bad blips.and iam still on ten.
