seroxat for anxiety

[ben16]

I was recently prescribed 10mg seroxat for anxiety and panic attacks.i started with 5mg for one week as i didnt want too severe side effects,i then started taking 10mg and have been on that dose for 2 weeks.in total i have been on seroxat for 3 weeks and in that time ive had some good days but im still getting really bad days and am not sure if im getting anywhere.im still feeling panicky when in a crowd,shops etc. i cant get in to see doctors for another 10 days. just wondering if any one else has any experience on this,should i up the dose to 15mg or should i leave it longer. thanks

Hi, I would keep taking it longer, it took me a good 6 weeks to feel better, Im on 10mg. Mine was mainly for depression so slightly different but I dont think you have given it long enough.
I did feel extremely tired in the beginning but that does get better although you may get the odd day where you just want to sleep!
Hang in there, hope it gets better
