> Lynda, if you don't mind me asking, did the 60 mg help your mood appreciably more than 45? Did you have depression, anxiety, or a combination? I hope you're feeling well now.

I still have some residual anxiety and dark feelings. I'm hoping to feel "normal" (ha!) again, the way I felt before I got knocked sideways by anxiety.

I have/had depression with anxiety. It has helped greatly with the anxiety. A return of some of the anxiety symptoms is what prompted the increase in dose to 60, but it's been working great at that dose for a good 6 months now. It's been slow steady progress since I started taking it nearly a year ago. It was a good 10 months before I could say that I really wasn't feeling depressed anymore. But I've also been in therapy for the past 3 - 4 years.Good luck and hang in there.
