Hi,
I have been on cipralex for 14 weeks now, started on 10 then 15 and am now going to take 20. I seem to have a good week where I feel almost normal and then it all goes wrong again, waking up at 4.30am, churning stomach, worried sick about everything, and by the time i get up at 6am i am in pieces and it takes me the day to calm down again. Does anyone know if taking 20mg is actually going to make a difference to my anxiety ? I feel that my depression is definitely better although still feel very low on the weeks that im down, im so sick of this, its so debilitating getting up every day and struggling through the day, i just want to feel normal again and ive started to feel like thats never going to happen. I hope you are all feeling okay this morning and have a good day. xx
