i've been taking 20 mg for the last week and prior to that 10mgs. i've now been on them for 2 weeks and worry to myself that they're not going to work. is till feel down and most days very tired. the gym which i go to regularly now seems to be too much effort. i'm now worried that not only am i going mad but my body will fail me too. please help i feel lost.
I felt the same Jacq, in fact today is the first proper day that I haven't felt like I'm going crazy.
I have been on them now for 2 weeks and 2 days. (If I count today)
Remember though - tablets alone won't cure you - you need to try and help yourself too.
Good luck.

the tablets dont usually start working for a month, my doctor told me 2-4 weeks until i would start feeling better. they started working just under a month for me, but if they arent for you perhaps 20mg isnt the right amount
all the best

I suppose it could depend on how much we dwell on the side effects, our illness etc.
Gosh that sounds terrible - I have spent a couple of days this past week dwelling and loaded with self pity! So I do include myself in the above statement.
It is extremely difficult to drag your self from the bottom of the dark pit and start helping yourself - but until we find the energy and courage to do so - the process can take longer.
As I have said before - negative thoughts can and do over power positive thoughts!
It can also become a habit (not realising you are doing it) as was kindly pointed out to me yesterday when I turned a positive into a negative and didn't even realise what I had done until a wonderful person told me and explained it to me.
I notice my positive post thread dwindled as fast as I put it there LOL. Me included - goes to show how much easier it is to dwell on the crap than on the good.
Off to post a positive thought now :D
