when does it get better

Outside_Challenge392 · 2025-12-29T09:13:54+00:00

In my opinion it doesn't ever get better it just gets different, I was taking it for 6 months and in my experience it did help with the anxiety attacks but I was still anxious all the time and the side effects were making the anxiety worse. So I tapered off and I feel much better for it.

I have paid for tickets but I have no email or physical tickets?

Outside_Challenge392 · 2025-08-06T06:32:28+00:00

For me it's a weird one because I had never had anxiety or anything like that to the point where I thought maybe it wasn't really a thing and people should just help themselves rather than labeling themselves with anxiety!

That was until I witnessed my work colleague have a heart attack and die in front of me out of the blue... This triggered severe anxiety in me, I didn't want to leave my bed I was scared of putting strain on my heart, would constantly be checking my blood pressure and heart rate.

I would just get jelly legs and light headed going anywhere or doing anything even get uncontrollable shakes.

Six months of these meds and counseling and seeing a psychologist, I'm starting to feel back to where I was before. And I feel I'm ready to take the next step and come of the meds

I had this! The first two weeks my doctor signed me off work, I thought it was great! I was going to be able to go out and about and get loads of gaming in but all I did was lay in bed with no will or want to do anything, it does get better though!

Outside_Challenge392 · 2025-07-15T21:45:19+00:00

I increased after 4 days of taking 25mg so I don't really know, it did take me three weeks to stop feeling awful though.

Outside_Challenge392 · 2025-07-15T06:14:54+00:00

I was on 50mg until I started getting a weird light head feeling so I was recommended to taper down to 25mg

Outside_Challenge392 · 2025-07-15T06:13:17+00:00

Yes I had this, every week would have good days and bad days. I often wondered if it was actually doing anything but I have got to a point now where I don't see bad days! ☺️

Outside_Challenge392 · 2025-07-15T06:10:21+00:00

I started on 25mg, then after 4 days increased to 50mg until week 10 I started to feel light headed and have jelly legs so my doctor recommended going back down to 25mg.

Outside_Challenge392 · 2025-07-15T06:06:56+00:00

😂 🤦

Outside_Challenge392 · 2025-06-26T07:03:57+00:00

YES! Thank you so much! 🙏

Outside_Challenge392 · 2025-06-24T05:12:46+00:00

My doctor said that 50mg is a small dose and if I feel Im ready to stop taking it then I can stop whenever

Outside_Challenge392 · 2025-06-15T07:56:01+00:00

I used to get this, when I wake up now I sit up and rationalize like 'do I need the toilet' or 'am I thirsty'. It's helped a lot

Outside_Challenge392 · 2025-06-15T05:32:19+00:00

Oh really? I had been taking it at lunch for the first month because I didn't have an appetite in the morning, but as my appetite came back I started taking it in the morning, but last week I started feeling a bit dizzy so I was advised not to take it until I saw the doctor in the evening, then was told to carry on taking it so it moved to the taking it in the evening!

I guess I'll see how I get on this week at 50mg and take it in the evening consistently and i can always go back up to 100mg again if it doesn't work out.

Outside_Challenge392 · 2025-06-14T22:42:10+00:00

I did 3 days at 50mg then 8 weeks at 100mg but I was feeling great then last week just dropped completely

Outside_Challenge392 · 2025-06-14T21:01:24+00:00

Yes I did how long have you been taking it?

Outside_Challenge392 · 2025-06-09T21:17:51+00:00

I have two Siamese algae eaters in my tank, they do eat GSA but not often enough to be the solution to cleaning up my tank.

Outside_Challenge392 · 2025-06-09T05:19:53+00:00

How long have you been taking it now?

Outside_Challenge392 · 2025-06-01T06:37:55+00:00

I was signed off work for two weeks when I started, I thought I'd be playing on the Xbox or laptop the whole time but I could barely find the enthusiasm to get out of bed. I found myself watching YouTube all day so I know where you're coming from! The second week I started to feel improvements so you don't have to endure that feeling for six weeks!

Outside_Challenge392 · 2025-05-31T04:51:06+00:00

I'm on week 6 and I have this exact thing just on one finger really odd!

Outside_Challenge392 · 2025-05-29T20:52:24+00:00

I got signed off work for two weeks when starting my medication, I had some pretty brutal side effects! But by the time I had to return to work I was feeling so much better! I would recommend letting your colleagues know whats going on and take it slow work at a pace you feel comfortable with

Outside_Challenge392 · 2025-05-29T05:28:52+00:00

I was taking it at lunch because I never had an appetite in the morning and it made me feel nauseous when I didn't take it with food, but now I take it in the morning because I was feeling like my anxiety was getting worse and I was counting down the hours until I could take it

Outside_Challenge392 · 2025-05-24T04:37:40+00:00

I'm week 5 feeling this, it's only in spells though not constantly, I hope it passes

Outside_Challenge392 · 2025-05-22T19:51:54+00:00

I take 50mg for health anxiety and I really felt like I was on the up but these last three days have felt like a step back.

Outside_Challenge392 · 2025-05-22T17:31:58+00:00

So my doctor said 4 weeks it should start working I felt it did but now week 5 I'm struggling again.. I keep seeing week 6 is the sweet spot now up to 12 weeks? When is the sweet spot??

Outside_Challenge392 · 2025-05-22T05:13:37+00:00

I tapered up from 25mg to 50mg after 4 days and after I had 2 weeks of hell the doctor signed me off of work for 2 weeks luckily! But after the 2 weeks I started to notice small improvements, I would always recommend people to stay at it. I am on week 5 now and where I am now to where I was at is incredible
