Really feeling it today , sweats , shaky , blurred vision and generally feel like crap

Richard,

I am a little over 3 weeks. I don't have the sweats or shakes now, but feel pretty crappy too. I was hoping I would be feeling so much better by now, but from what I have read, I still have a few more weeks to go.

Hang ng in there with me! We can do this!

Hi Richard

The side effects are not nice but just remember they will pass soon and you will start to feel better.

I used to just sit with close friends on days like your having .... I didn't feel like chatting but just the company was good .

It will pass .

Hi Sissy

I'm on week 5 you will start to feel the benefit soon.

Tough side effects but worth it to feel a little good again .

Thanks sissy let's keep our fingers and toes crossed we both feel better soon,can't handle much more of this

nh_user_923072 · February 13, 2016, 3:17pm

Thanks debi I'm trying to keep positive but just having a dark day hope you ok to .

Thanks Debi! I guess I just wasn't prepared for this. The doctor gave me no indication there was any start up side effects. She just told me I should start feeling better in 3-4 weeks. At least the anxiety isn't worse.

I understand! I wish they could just put me in a coma until things leveled out.

I just was not prepared for this. Silly me just thought my anxiety would just start fading away.

nh_user_923072 · February 13, 2016, 3:25pm

I know , I would gladly join you in that coma at mo , some one wake us up when better . I guess this is the road to recovery stay strong sissy .

You to Richard! I hope this is the medicine that works for both of us.

Hi Richard

I'm in week 6 of 40 mg, the last few days there has been a difference in the way I feel. It has made me feel confident I've done the right thing, there were quite a few dark days. All I could do was sit on the bed and cry, but as I was told it has got better!

Stick with it! You WILL feel better!

Take care x

nh_user_923072 · February 13, 2016, 3:45pm

nh_user_923072 · February 13, 2016, 3:48pm

At least we know we not alone on this mad journey to recovery , am gratefull for finding this site ..

nh_user_903556 · February 13, 2016, 3:52pm

Put on some brain dead tv and tuck up and wade through it, your doing the worst bit right now, you will feel better I promise you it just takes soooo long, it's cruel xxx what dose are you on and what time of day are you taking it? xxx

nh_user_923072 · February 13, 2016, 4:06pm

Thanks for your advice and I'm on 10mg for first 2 weeks then back to docs and I'm taking it in morning not sure if that's correct or not but I guess it's a learning curve x

nh_user_688299 · February 13, 2016, 4:11pm

Hi there, could you both book me a coma too. It really is awful until it works. In the mean time lets fasten our seatbelts on get on with the ride. Waiting patiently( not reallly! ) Seems so hard, and did I mention how much I hate anxiety. Agh, let's get this done. Lee

nh_user_923072 · February 13, 2016, 4:14pm

I agree lee let's get this done , fasten them seat belts ..

nh_user_917162 · February 13, 2016, 4:27pm

I take mine in the morning too x

anon53727290 · February 13, 2016, 4:34pm

Did you have tiredness at first and did it get better?

nh_user_917162 · February 13, 2016, 4:40pm

Yes I did but I struggled to sleep and had to get something from my doctor to help.

It does get better tho x
