> This is a med that I found it helpful to titrate very slowly when starting out. Did you start at 75 mg? Or did you start at 37.5? What kinds of side effects are you having? Some may calm down a bit after a while, some may not. As for working....this varies, of course, but it may be that 75 is not enough to make a noticable difference. Still, I recommend not increasing too quickly.
I started at 37.5 mgs a day for four days, then increased to 75 mgs a day. My anxiety has increased since I have taken this medication. I actually have panic attacks again. I am hoping that this side effect will go away. These panic attacks are something I cannot live with.
