It seems everytime I go up in dosage, the next few days I have increased anxiety and fearful thoughts. I've only been on it for 4 weeks and the doctor says to give it some more time, but I sure don't feel better. Sometimes it's worse. Anyone else experience this?

Matt,

I am experiencing that right now. My doc just keeps telling me to stay with it, but I feel awful and my scary thoughts have increased. She told me last night to cut back, and that she may put me on something else when she sees me next week.

What your feeling is normal during increasing. Stick with it, it should subside in a few weeks or less. In the meantime, drink lots of water, exercise and do things you enjoy to keep your ming healthy.

Thx for the info. It makes it hard to stick with this stuff when it makes you feel worse.
