Waiting on increase dose to work

[Tacka2]

I have been on my AD for 3 months now and have had to gradually increase over that time.How long does it take to see an improvement and that something is actually happening?

Hi Tacka2

Welcome and good on you for being a part of the forums too!

It really depends on what symptoms you are experiencing....I have been on AD's for a long time for chronic anxiety attacks..and they worked within 10 weeks

The AD's arent a fix all....They do provide us with a solid foundation on which we can heal more effectively using frequent counseling alongside the meds

The forums are a Safe and non judgemental place for you to post Tacka2.

If you wish to elaborate on how you are feeling that can help us provide you with better quality support 🙂

I really hope you can post if and when you wish

Paul

Thanks Paul

Since I upped my meds last Wednesday, I feel like I’m in overdrive just trying to keep my self busy waiting for the medication to kick in a bit! So mostly anxious but today I feel flat and tired!

So I have no appetite, that worries me. I have been taking sleeping tablets and they have been working well.. I seem to be constantly worrying about small things that are not worth worrying about! I am a mother of 4 and have been so use to doing everything. I know I do to much and need to share the load. I’m finding it hard because my family is also use to me doing it all and I have to be consistently at them to help! I have made an appointment with my GP and also psychologists for next week.. I’m looking forward to enjoying things again 😌
