Is this normal? I know it’s early yet I’m my treatment & I’ve had some great days & some not great days like today. Soooo tired today & have had headaches all day. No appetite. Bums me out after I had some really great days. Just need some words of encouragement I think.
3 weeks is still very early B. You have to give it 4-6 weeks i’m told. Hang in there.
Thanks so much John! Appreciate your response. 
It sounds perfectly normal to me. I had headaches for a couple of weeks when I increased. I'm now on 4.5 weeks of 225 and I still have the odd jittery day but it gets less and less and the good days get more and better as I go along x
Hi. Yeah, stomach and headaches issues can be a problem when you first start. In another 2-3 weeks, you should be feeling better. If not, talk to your doctor.
Once your good days outnumber your bad days, you know the medicine is working! If you can tolerate Advil liquigels, take that for your headaches, it won't upset your stomach like the solid pills. And maybe some liquid mylanta, or Pepto. Tums smoothies. Hang in there. Everything will even out! God bless you!
Thank you Rhubarb! Appreciate it.
Thanks Tammy! Good ideas. It’s just so frustrating as all of us know. God bless you too.
Are the shakes especially in the Mornings normal?
My psychiatrist told me that recovery from depression/anxiety is not smooth, there are always ups and down but gradually the "ups" come to outnumber the "downs'" so i'd say hang in there, enjoy the good days and get through the less good days by telling yourself that it will get better, it is already getting better. I hope that helps.
Thanks so much pixie. It does help. I don’t know why but I need to hear from others who are going thru similar to ease my mind.
I'm the same Barbara! I did so much research into this drug before I took it that my doctor says I know more than him yet I still need other people to verify my thoughts and feelings are normal so I stop stressing about them! Like today I've been feeling a little anxious but I know it's because I'm splitting my dose and questioning whether I'm doing the right thing, even though it took me 3 or 4 days to make the decision based on what I know and advice from others haha!
I hear ya!
