Hi Sue.
I take 40mg, as a lower dose didnt seem to be working for me, ive been on 40mg for 6 weeks. Some people say they feel better within about 3 - 4weeks but i havent found that. I still have 'bad' days when i cant cope but i dont think they are as quite as severe as before the medication (?) and i get 'good' days when i still have some anxiety but its defo an okay day! (if you get my jist!)
My doctor says that 10 weeks is the amount of time to decide whether a mediation is working for you, as by then it should be at its optimum strength ie. good days are definitely out weighing the bad. Hope this is some help, sorry i cant give you a defining answer, i wish someone could tell me!!!!
Hang on in there, and keep logging on here, i have received great comfort from people here on my really bad days ! Hugs Charlie x x x

Hi Dawn and all.
Since i last posted i am now on 60mg and it has definitely taken that amount to make me start feeling more normal again, 40mg just wasnt doing it for me. All in all it has taken 6 months for me to feel any benefit from the medication, so anyone out there who think its a quick fix it isnt always!!!
Am happily having much more good periods and less bad ones, the the good ones are now even better than before, and the bad ones usually shorter, apparently this is a classic pattern of recovery from severe anxiety.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL

I reckon you are never cured, you just get a lot less bad days....which is worth it

I started on the 2nd January (day 4 today) and I was put straight onto 20mg

Im on 20mg, been on then about 5 weeks, at the moment I dont feel they are doing much at all. Are these for anxiety or depression?

My mind is just so jumbled at the moment
