Hello,

I have been on 20 mg (starting dose) for a few weeks now. Saw my GP today and he has prescribed me 40 mg and told me to stay on that dose. I haven't suffered too bad with the side effects but will I ontinue to get side effects now I am going up a dose?
Also is this a bit quick to go up a dose? Just wondering what others have been through and I thought perhaps 40 mg after only a few weeks was quite a lot.
Happy to take it though as can see myself improving and hopefully will get more of an improvement with the higher dose.
Just want to prepare myself.
Thanks.

HI, When I got my dose increased to 40mg I didn't get any side effects. Just felt a lot better. Don't worry you'll be fine. If you've been on the medication for a few weeks your body should be used to it.
