Note to my future self - Seroxat
I keep coming back to No More Panic everytime I am depressed and starting/upping seroxat (or fluoxetine once). I always seem to forget how bad the first weeks are.
I am now on day 21 after upping seroxat from 25 mg to 30 mg. I’ve felt so horrible, anxious and depressed. The last days have been better, hope it lasts [emoji1696][emoji1696]

This is a very strong reaction from what is a modest dose increase. Did you mean 25mg to 50mg perhaps?

No, 25 mg to 30. But other increases have been worse [emoji37]

Re: Note to my future self - Seroxat
I went from 40mg to 50mg a few months (actually probably 5) and to be honest, I'm not sure what were side effects and what was how I was feeling at the time.
I still have some bad days as well as the good and to be honest some days are a mixture of both.
Are you having any other help? Counselling/therapy?
Re: Note to my future self - Seroxat
I’m seeing s psychiatrist.
Did you feel anxious and depressed initially when upping the dose?

Yes, but as I said, I'm not sure I'd they were side effects or how I was feeling.
Although it is common to feel more anxious when starting/increasing medication.

Note to self: today is day 23. I was nervous and took 10 mg oxazepam. Now things are okay, just wish I didn’t ned a benzo [emoji848]

Yes I know. Yet I’m always surprised when it happens [emoji50]

Yes it is very crap. When I increased I found it very useful to come on here for advice. I was so impatient for results too, it was good to be reminded that these things take time.
