    I am now taking 150 mg once a day.....I've done this for about a week now and my anxiety level is still very high.  Sometimes I feel like I've lost my mind.  Can't figure out if it's the lack of sleep putting me in these moods or if I need a higher dosage.  What do you think...should I give it more time before I let my doctor know?

    I also take 150mg a day. It takes a couple weeks to fully work so I wouldn't give up just yet.

    I take 150mg.  Everyone taking any antidepressant or antianxiety medicine should realize it takes almost a full month for its full affects to be reached.  Short term meds like xanex and valium are quick acting and can sometimes get you through those first few weeks but can usually not be used while BFing and they can be addictive but they are sometimes necessary.  I went back on my meds right after birth because of my high anxiety levels even when I am not pregnant. I am not BFing.

    300 and bfing. I try to take it directly after her morning feed.

    I was on it before so it only took about 2 weeks to kick in. All the sudden it felt like I got a nice kick in the butt. now I have insomnia bad though....

    I was taking 450mg.........a 150mg and a 300mg together.  I was maxed out on it and it didn't do crap for me.
