Hi Lexy -
It is a little unsettling to have the racing thoughts and anxious feelings! Are you seeing a therapist? That might help too.

It was really 4 - 6 weeks before I can say those feelings seemed to abate. I was on 10 mg. After 8 - 10 weeks, the anxiety started returning, so my doctor recommended I up to 20 mg. I would wait a bit longer to up. I did so on 12/26 . . . so I am on day 25 of the new dosage, close to where you are. I still have some anxiety and racing thoughts and the "tired but wired" syndrome - but much less often than when I started at 10 mg.

So, bottom line is, what you're experiencing seems a part of the routine most people go through. Hang in there and try to stay busy and active. That seems to help me a lot! Getting enough sleep to feel rested seems to alleviate some of the symptoms as well. I take Melatonin to help in that area.

Good luck to you . . . you'll get through this part, just give it a couple more weeks!
