Did you have same problem before starting medications? What time do you take them? What dose. it should start with 5 mg once a day initially. it should usually be taken in the morning as it can cause some sleep problems. All antidepressants may worsen your anxiety initially. This usually lasts for few days and gets better afterward. it may take few weeks usually 3-6 weeks to get full effect of this medications.

yes sir its 10 mg daily. these unsettling feelings were worse before the medicine. mood swings are not that intense as it used to be. but the fear is still there when I face her. the pressure is still there.
I stay wide awake. i never experienced this intense sleeplessness before. this medicine is working but sleeplessness is really very upsetting sir. I request you to suggest something for it please.

hello
5mg is not sufficient dose, i suggest you to increase it to 10mg once a day and consult after 10 days.
take care
