Hi Emma,
I am glad that you are continuing to seek what is going to work for you and your anxiety management...that is great.:)
I don't have personal experience to share, but keep checking back, and I am sure that you will hear from others soon that can offer some personal insight.
Remember however, that everyone will have a completely personal experience with any given med...so just use anything you read as a guidline...
Generally speaking, SNRI/SSRI meds take anywhere from 2 up to 8 (sometimes more or less) weeks to build up, and level off...coming to theraputic levels in the body.
Use your coping skills during this time to help get you through the start up phase.:)
I wish you the best, and encourage you to keep posting!
S.C.
