Im sorry to say the pills have the same effect on me also one minute im content and the next ive hit rock bottom. Babe i know for sure that there not working for us or at least need a larger dose.

My doctor explained like this - our brain is making more serotonin but not enough to make a constant supply therefore up and downess.

ALthough if u have altered ur meds in anway since uve fel like this i think u should go back to ur gp and see if there is anything they can suggest.

hope u feel better x:flowers:

It is working otherwise you wouldnt be having good days .It will take another 2 weeks for the dose to BE FULLY EFFECTIVE .maybe a bit longer .The good days will soon start to become more as the dose kicks in .You will get there ,just try to hang on a bit longer .Make the most of the good ones :yesyes:..t/c Sue x

Because you upped your dose your anxiety levels have risen more Lajj .Each dose takes 4-6 weeks to reach full effect .The side effects should gradually lessen in less than that tho .I see you have gone back to work ? well done for that .It does help to distract away from the constant chatterbox by keeping busy and occupied I hope you are getting plenty of sleep ? ..Each day is a step nearer to being well .You will get there just be patient .luv Sue l:hugs:
