I did the same - started on 10mg then upped to 15mg. It took about 5 -7 days for the wierd spacey feeling to subside. I didnt really feel any better with the extra dose but my depression patches are not as deep and resolve quicker.
I also got the no appetite thing (wish that continued) but that has gone too after about a week.
I suppose you could estimate that your body took a while last time to adjust so it might this time.
> I increased by dosage for 10mg to 15mg 9 days ago. I feel as bad now as when starting Lex. NO apetite, weird feeling (apathy), and much more anxiety. I am barely making it day to day. Will or when will this go away? These same side effects lasted 31 days when I began 10mg. dosage, then I felt good for 2-3 weeks before all depress/anxiety came back.
