Is 2 mg per day of etilaam safe for social anxiety disorder as my psychiatrist prescribed 0.5 mg twice a day but there is no improvement seen. So can I take 1 mg twice a day? Is it safe 2 mg per day?

dont keep increasing the dose on your own. etilaam itself is a weak anti anxiety medication, get a second opinion. Increasing the dose would most likely lead to unwanted side effects.
