Started meds about 6 days ago and my anxiety is worst, should i try increasing my dose?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Talk to your doctor: With certain medications used to treat anxiety a temporary increase in anxiety is common and may even be a sign that the medication is beginning to work. With these medications you should not increase the dose until you adapt to this effect or you will feel worse.
