Hi. What were the reason you got started on the treatment long ago? If it was for depression or anxiety chances are that it might be surfacing again. Did you have any recent stressors that might cause anxiety. You have been on treatment before so taking 20mg will be fine. Consult the doctor who knows your history just to evaluate you again
