    Off day today!

    Hi.
    Been on cit for about 8 weeks plus now. I've been on 40mg for nearly 2 weeks.
    I've had a real off day today. Anxiety is back with a vengeance and I feel soooo crap.
    I can't understand it! I've been quite good lately.
    It feels like such a step back.

    Do you think I should ask the doc to swap meds? I'm unsure now if cit is going to work!!!!

    Hey Yorkman, thought you were doing ok on your 20mg, didn't know you'd gone up. Why was that? Not working? I've been on 20mg for a number of weeks now and feel okish. Funny, I too had an off day today although that was probably down to something happening at work.

    Stick with it for a while yet maybe?

    Well it can take several weeks before the higher dose kicks in and begins to settle. It can cause increased anxiety till that happens, so I agree you should hang in there for a few more weeks before you give up.

    Now been on 40mg for 8 weeks and don't feel any better than when I was on 30mg - feeling very tired during the day and still not sleeping that well.

    Do you think I should give it a bit longer on 40mg?

    Hi,
    Well I've been on 40 for 2 weeks exactly now.
    I've been to the docs today as ive had a few really bad days lately.
    The doc said I've basically gotta stay on 40 for at least 4 weeks, and she wants to see me again in 2 weeks.
    I've not given the increased dose enough time!
