I took my first dose on July 16, so tomorrow will mark 3 weeks since I have been taking 10mg. I was told to bump up to 20mg after a week, but I have been scared to because fear of side effects! At this point, I am not sure that I feel any less anxious than I did prior to starting, and I feel like I should go ahead and increase.
My biggest reason for beginning medication is for crippling anxiety that i experience every day and it’s just gotten exhausting which is in turn making me depressed. I know that a side effect is SI which i am really scared of experiencing. So far I don’t think i have any negative or positive side effects from 10mg.
Do you think I should increase now or wait 4-6 weeks on 10mg to see how I feel?
