Did I say I was feeling better? Woken up today feeling terrible. Gotta go through it. Shows how up and down this process can be. This is my 4th day back on the meds so early days.
Day 4 for me to tuff isn't it.
Yeah. I replied to Damom yesterday saying I was feeling better, which I was! Bad morning
How you feeling?
Feeling how?
This morning I am so agitated, can't concentrate, shaky, sweaty, nausea
Yeah I'm quite agitated this morning. I've read it's because the drug is a stimulant which the body needs to get used to.Sorry you're going through it today. Remember it will pass and improve..... How do you deal with it? Hunker down in front of the TV or get out and about?
Yes I have had Cipralex twice before in the last 15 years first time side effects were hallucinations and body spasms and it was damn hard to stay on them. 2nd time didn't have those more like this time so I knew what was coming but suppose I hoped it wouldn't . The good thing is the body is reacting to accept the tablets and I hope in a week or so it will all get less.
I have Insomina from tablets to so bed time is hard.
Today my 6 yr old is off to Her friends till tomorrow as I couldn't cope at all luckily my mum lives with us so has been doing most stuff.
I am going to try and go out but apart from that will be on the sofa as tummy pain hurts and all the anxiety has flocked to my gut
What about u?
Yeah had Cipralex before. As I said in my first post I came off last year after being on it for some time. In hind sight maybe not a good move! Like you I know the process, though have never had hallucinations....! Sounds like you've got good support around you. I might get off the sofa and go to the gym. Exercise is good. Take it easy.
Day 5. Soooo bad. How long?
Day 5 soooo bad here to (((
What r u feeling ?
I am having panic and anxiety so much worse, woke to pounding heart, hot can't sit still just want to walk feel can't swallow it's really picked up speed from yesterday
Hi Kate. Felt just soooo agitated and shakey. I've improved this afternoon, which I think a lot of us experience - mornings are worse. I've done this before and know things did get better then. I think a side effect can be a dry mouth???? Stick with it.
Day 6 Very agitated and shakey.
Feeling the same the minute I open my eyes why r mornings worse??
How's your nausea ? Mine is the worst it's ever been with that feeling of not being able to swallow.
Have to say I have today thought of stopping them as I feel worst then I did before starting them but I know that's normal
Hi Kate. Ive got no nausea but shaking like a leaf today and very highly strung. Don't stop. These initial effects are usual
Yes am with you, do you take tablet day or night? Wonder if it makes a difference to feelings in the morning?
I have this or what feels like a lump in my throat every time I swallow which seems to be anxiety led.
Want to continue but
Thanks Kate. Don't stop. You've got this far, you don't want to go back to square one. Treat it as if you have flu or a sickness bug, or have broken a limb - you've just got to see it out.
Dry mouth can be a side effect but if it's bothering you chat to your doc. There are sites giving advice on how to cope with these side effects, including dry mouth. Do a search....
I don't think it matters when you take the stuff, but I'm gonna have a look.
Take it easy.
I don't want to get hung up in it all just wish it just stop
U r doing really well Ian and seem quite positve which is good.
My 6 yr old off school today with a bug
So am going to take a massive step and drive to toys r us and get Her a barbie which with the anxiety I feel will be challenging talking myself into it at the moment !
Get up and go....!!! Do it anyway. Hope you're both ok.
In the queue - soooo agitated !!!! Breathe .....
Well done! I'm going to the gym.... Gotta eat first.
