[AbbieJ]

Confirmed with depression after a split up,Been on this since Nov,20mg,After taking a while to get into my system along with terrible side effects Eventually I was feeling great about things,Thing is last week or so starting to feel down a lot again,Just wondering if my dose needs to be put up,Any ideas???

I wouldn't automatically assume you need a dose increase if the 20mg has been working well. Is there anything else that could of triggered your down feelings? Also I guess we need to remember as people we aren't happy all the time! X

[FRANKIEISBACK]

agree with above , is anything major happening in your life ?



if not , maybe worth increasing dose

[AbbieJ]

No nothing to trigger the down feelings,Been feeling great last few weeks so unsure why am feeling down sometimes the now :(

[FRANKIEISBACK]

I am on maximum and feel great

[AbbieJ]

[FRANKIEISBACK]

60 mg .....try 40 mg for a few weeks then build up to it

Hi AbbieJ, definitely worth talking it through with the doctor before changing your dosage. There could be any number of reasons that you have been feeling down the last week.
