I was also on 10 mg for about 10 weeks before increasing. It took about one month on 20 mg before I noticed a measurable difference.

It was at about 8 weeks after the increase that I could say I felt about 90% better than before I began any meds. Not that 100% is perfect, but 100% is where I want to get to, if that makes sense. But, again, don't forget about my insomnia - lack of sleep makes my recovery much slower than it should be I think!

Did it take 8 to 9 weeks after the increase, or just in total after taking the drug? I was on 10mg for about 10 weeks before starting the new dosage. Good luck to you as well!

Thirdly, I need to exercise - my treadmill comes this weekend! And, lastly, I'm going to try to supplement with some natural remedies if the first 3 things don't bring me where I want to be . . . but I think they will!

I'm worried that I will have to have another increase after this and I don't want to keep having to go through the massive fatigue that is associated with it.
