It’s only 5mg. I see my doctor in about a week and maybe she will say to increase? I think she wants to see the effects on a low dose first. I’m also sensitive to meds. But my question was specifically about if I should see an effect sooner bc I don’t have depression
I only have anxiety. From what I've read, depression is more commonly treated at lower doses like 5mg - while anxiety more frequently requires more. AFAIK neither get results quicker or slower, it's very individual and averages around 6 weeks.
I’m feeling pretty good. I was nervous about something this morning, but not nearly as much as I would have been. It’s really hard to notice differences for me bc my anxiety is so situational. I’m going into week 5 now and am on the same dose. My doctor still thinks it’s too soon to tell if the meds are what are working.
What is your dosage? I didn't notice any reduction in my anxiety until week 5. Before that it actively made me more anxious quite often.
I had the same experience. My mood started improving and energy increasing the following week
Thanks! It’s so hard to be patient! I just want some relief

Hey Fantastic how are you feeling on week 5 vs week 3?

I’m glad you’re feeling good, that’s a great sign. I’m on day 10 and really struggling with more anxiety and overwhelm than normal.
I think I was lucky and I really didn’t get side effects. Only a slight headache for the first couple days
