I took it for 5 days just recently..... With my first dose, I got a huge robust effect that abated all of my anxiety symptoms. I went and hugged my hubby, told him how much I loved him, and that I had found the medicine that would cure me and rid me of the terrible anxiety I have endured for so long..
I woke up the next morning only to have it all return. I took 12.5mg three times per day for the next 5 days only to feel my anxiety get worse.
Talk about a big letdown. I had to stop as I could feel my anxiety just getting worse with each dose.
Very strange to have had that chemical response with the first dose.
I stayed up until 3am the first night I was feeling so good, not high or euphoric, just relief and a sense of energy.
In the end, I had a few good hours with my hubby and kids. My husband has some confidence now that the "me" is still there underneath all of the free floating anxiety I experience daily.
Hope that helps.......
