@mitch4444 so essentially at 15mg it’s pretty much just a sleep aid? I was at 30mg until 18th April and doing OK, I then dropped to 15mg and was good at first but last couple of weeks have been hell with anxiety and fatigue. I dropped to 50mg of sertraline back in February so I’m pretty sure it’s not that.

Also some medication takes longer to leave your system. Keep trying!

Yes, it is used for sleep and I’m not sure if it has a small antidepressant effect as well. Your anxiety may be from the change of the medication (s). Sometimes you need to give it more time to settle. Don’t forget all the receptors that are being affected. Mental health medication is never easy. I was on Clomipramine for 30 years and I thought I would try Cipralex. That was a nightmare. The SSRI worked at first then extreme anxiety crept in. I’m back on Clomipramine but is was not easy to get back on after 3 months. Be careful with changes
