I'm on my 5th day of 5mg.
I take it at 8am every morning.
It's harder to fall asleep and I'm waking up at 3-4 am with increased anxiety and a headache.
Thank you

Hi, Lovelife!
Insomnia, sleep disturbances, increased anxiety, and headache are all very common side effects when first starting an antidepressant that affect about 10% of users, It's temporary and they generally resolve within a week to two as your metabolism adjusts to the drug in your system.
You're on a low stating dose so this should resolve fairly quickly now but you should let your doctor know that you're having a problem and get their professional advice.
