I would discuss with your prescriber. Go to drugs.com and look it up and ANY other meds you are taking and enter them into the interaction checker. See it this issue has been reported as a side effect of any meds.Then discuss some more.m

Looks like your anxiety is coming back causing the problem. It is not a good idea to change dosage or stop a med without talking with the prescriber. Pl do that
