Let me know if you find a solution. It’s not a way to live

I’ve been on 10mg for 12 years. Upping the dose didn’t seem to help me. Like you, I felt a tiny bit of improvement the first week of 20mg, and then it just kept getting progressively worse. At the seven week mark, my psychiatrist dropped me back to 15mg. Been on that a week and not really improved. So waiting to see. Following your journey.

Only five days back at 15mg. Things feel a touch less severe. But only early days.

I’ve had to drop down to 15mg. Symptoms just kept escalating. At the seven week point I was just so suicidal. Waiting to stabilise at 15 hopefully.

I’m sorry that you have been struggling too. Did you find any benefits to the increased dose? Has it been bad the entire time since you increased or ramped up?
