Hi,

Thanks for the information. I have GAD. There are just a lot of things around that cause me anxiety and serve as triggers even though technically they should't, but they're based on associations I formed between certain events and places, people, etc. I often have feelings of apprehension, doom and being trapped.

The anxiety itself is powerful in terms of making me unsociable, wanting to withdraw, and I'm unable to focus. I forget obligations, lose train of thought, etc.

I had side effects the first week. Dizziness and tingling, but they went away. Other than that, I haven't noticed much of anything really.

I guess I wonder what encouraged you to keep on taking it for months? For me, it was a big step to accept the possibility of medication, and I was beginning to think that if this didn't begin to work for a couple of week, I'll ask my dr to start taking me off it.
