Detailed Answer:
Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries
It is common to see increase in anxiety when any SSRI or SNRI drug is started in patients or increased in doses and in most individuals the anxiety reduces in about 5-7 days. You have increased the doses from 75 to 112 mg and in my opinion in a couple of days you will start feeling better. No need to worry.
Thanks.
