Re: What level of Seroxat are you on?
I have actually stopped taking Seroxat now, have been off it for 5 days now.
The most I've ever been on for the 5 years i've been taking it is 20mg a day, but I was always able to quickly cut down to 10mg a day and then to 5mg a day (10mg every other day).

Re: What level of Seroxat are you on?
I started on 10mg and went up to 20 mg then 30mg.
Now I'm back on 20mg and doing fine. I saw a counsellor for a few weeks and she said that they help you feel moer balanced (my words not hers - can't remember exactly), but they enabled me to think clearly enough to be able to learn and practice techiques to help me cope when I feel panicky and get back in control.
I'm trying to reduce the dose again now so I can come off them. but part of me now wondered whether I will be able to cope "on my own". Well, here goes! :shrug: :)

Re: What level of Seroxat are you on?
Hi, I've just been put on 20mg and I'm feeling really tearful and down today. I want to write a new thread but this is only my second day on here and I'm struggling to find my way round. Can anyone tell me how to start a new thread??

Doc has just put me on it....starting with 20mg yesterday and is weaning me off citalopram.Far too early to say how it will affect me.

Re: What level of Seroxat are you on?
My doctor upped my dose from 20 to 30mg four days ago.I've now been on the seroxat for a total of 12 days and have noticed a difference already,I haven't had any side effects whatsoever so I'm thinking this drug is well suited to me.Its difficult to describe but so far it seems to kind of block the anxiety?For example I can think frightening thoughts but that familiar 'whoosh' of anxiety in the chest just isn't taking off.Let's just hope it lasts.

hi ive taken 30mg before for about 7 months they did not help at all felt like i was going mad.
Re: What level of Seroxat are you on?
I'm on 10mg and in a week will go up to 20mg!
This is the second time i've been on seroxat. Now i'm on them again i'm getting out more which is good and at times feel pretty happy!
Its not all good but this time i've gotta give them a fair go and hope some side effects improve in time.
