The anxiety and mood has been less of an issue for me maybe because i am also taking mirtazapine 45mg and a low dose of quetiapine 25mg for sleep. Also i think i know what you mean about the humour, less spontaneous than usual.
> I've been on 3x12.5mg for 9 or 10 days now, i started on 2 a day for 3 days before that and the fatigue and lower mood just today is starting to improve and i think i have better recall and memory and my mind feels a little clearer. How is it great for work, do you mean your concentration started to improve to?
