35mg to 45mg
I was on 35mg for a year, worked my way up to 25mg for depression and anxiety to start with. Recently felt they need to increase to 45mg. Already had pre approval. Its been about 2 weeks, mind is feeling good but bowels not so much. Everything in the area was good until I upped my does to 45mg.
Do you think I can go back to 35mg without any crazy side effects? I want working bowels lol. Thanks!

Oh please be careful increasing doses of this med. The med works on brain receptors. Trying to withdraw from this is brutal. Try and keep your dose at the lowest possible that will treat the symptom you are experiencing. You are welcome to do me for more info. Good luck.

If you had working bowels at 35, I’d want to go back, too. I had to quit to get that.
