Hello folks, 43yo, male, long term anxiety/depression sufferer here, having yet another bad episode. In the last month or so, I have been waking up with panic attacks, followed by terrible anxiety, all day. Medication helps a lot during these episodes.
I've been on an ssri for around 20 years, and for a long time i was doing reasonably well on the lowest dose.
My g.p. upped the dose, about a month ago, which hasn't helped at all yet. Perhaps it's even making things worse!
Does anyone know if its possible that a higher ssri dose could actually make anxiety worse?
I feel like i should go back to my old dose, but it will be some time before I can see my g.p. again.
Cheers all.
