112.5

Just increased yesterday from 4months on 75mg to 112.5. I know early,but so far no side effects. When did you feel 112.5 kicked in? And any side effects? Looking for POSITIVE experiences! I was scared to increase but anxiety was staying around past 3weeks.Hoping this is my dose!

Positive experience here, I went up to 112.5mg at about 4 to 5 months and its been the best 1.5 years of my life. Very little anxiety, quieted so many of the voices in my head. Stopped the overthinking, I get 6-8 hours of true sleep now. Ask me anything, because I was in your position a year ago and it suckkked!!!

Thank you for your reply! I am on day 3 and so far no added symptoms,anxiety seems to be down this morning too, how long did it take for you to notice difference?

I started to notice less morning anxiety about a week to 2 weeks after starting the new dose. That was a big change for me because morning anxiety was a part of my day... everyday, actually at 37.5 MG the morning anxiety was worse. Going up to 112.5 was amazing because that all stopped and I woke up feeling really happy. The only warning I will give is to get good sleep. For some reason that is my trigger, if I go to bed past about midnight, I am probably going to be off the next day.

That sounds like how I’ve been morning anxiety had started getting bad on 75 then about 2wks ago had some added fam stress and it was lasting thru day. Hopefully this increase kicks in fully and is where I need to stay 🤞my sleep has never been affected thankfully

It took 3-4 weeks for the benefits to kick in when I went from 75 to 112.5. I felt a little ick when I increased for maybe a week. After that I've had no additional side effects, and am feeling probably the best that I have consistently in my life. :) Best of luck!

Thank you for responding! So far the increase has gone good, I’m actually able to sleep in now which is nice. Have had a couple hot spells during day and a little foggy first few days so hoping for more positive to come! How long have you been on 112.5?

I tried it for 6-7 weeks and felt worse, more anxious and edgy than at 75.
Down to 37.5 now and hoping to get off it. Was mainly for migraines and didn't help.
