    I take 20mgs everyday for anxiety. Take one tablet in the morning and one at night.

    80MG once a day in the morning. Was given it as to try to remove the physical symptoms of anxiety (racing heart, sweats, horrible sinking stomach). It's really early days for me though, had some major panic attacks this afternoon (the first dose wearing off?) Really want to be a week ahead to where I am now as hopefully it should be working properly by then (so I've read on here anyway...)

    I take mine for anxiety too.. 40mg in the morning. I hadn't thought about taking half and half, because I do get quite anxious at night. Hmm.

    whitelight, I hope they work out for you, they worked like a dream for me! All the best.

    I'm on the highest dose of 160mgs a day. I suffered for a whole week on 3x20mgs daily, but to no avail. It was the longest and most frightening week of my life. There I was on medicines to help these damned palpitations and they were'nt working. I felt lost.

    My GP eventually changed it to the highest amount of 160mg's a day, one modified release capsule and it worked virtually straight away. The only side effect I'm having is tiredness, but I'd rather be feeling sluggish than terrified. And I'm managing a sleep at night. They haven't gone completely but I'm more trusting that I'm going to be okay. My only fear is that they'll return if the medication is stopped.
