Does anyone know how long an upped dose of cit takes to settle down? I am nearly 2 weeks on upped dose, the total time on is 10 weeks, I'm just experiencing shakiness and increased anxiety, but I have had a good drink over the last couple of days so that may add to it, but if anyone can give some advice/reassurance on this.

Many Thanks

Hi Lion King

I am in the same boat as you, i was on 10mg Cit's for a month and felt no improvement what so ever then the doctor upped me to 20mg the first week after upping the dose i felt worse than ever shakiness and increased anxiety these symptoms gradually decreased through the second week now i am into my 3rd week and the last few days i have woke up feeling great..

Stick with them everyone is diffrent but i can say i feel great no more shakiness or tremors hope you feel the same soon..

Thanks for the reassurance,

I am now starting week 3 of the upped dose, shakiness and tremors have been bad for the last 4 days, but hopefully I will see a turn around this week. I have done the relaxation exercises and this has helped the side effects subside.

Hope you are well

Hi Lion King, how did it go with the side effects? How long did they take to calm down? What is your increased dose?

I'm now on 40mg.

Weird thing is when I couldn't get myself together enough to collect my 'scrtpt from the surgery and hand it into the chemist (days without medication., I slept for Scotland.) for a few days I was only awake for 4 / 5 hours out of every 24 without med's
