Don't be Lostliz,
Kicked in when I went up to 100mg for me 3mths. Mind feeling more confident i went out got drunk tonight and fell over not good.😫 Unlike me. Now I'm wide awake feeling the damage I did. Back on tightrope tmrw.
Everyone's diffo on this drug. Percevere. Big love from silly Claire.x
I was hoping now that the drug is in my system the increase might show effects quicker?! Oh well. I don't drink much anyway, almost finished dry January which tied in with getting accustomed to the drug I guess. I hope it makes me feel better.
Everyone is different. Two days for me. Then after 3 months it wore off a bit so i went up to 100 and that was the dose that worked for me. Um still on it now but only on 50. It doesnt work as well as 100 but i dont want to totaly rely on the drug
Hi,
Mine started to kick in after about 4 weeks, I guess. It is different for everyone, but it's best just to keep going. They will make you feel better. I'm at the other end now, I'm just coming off them after about 4 years. Not nice, but after reading posts on here, I realise I should have reduced much more slowly than recommended by my GP. I definitely needed them at the time, so don't fight against it. I stayed on 50mg the whole time and with a blip mid way when the brand was changed (different chemist), they worked for me, keeping me at a level 'happy' place!
I was quite surprised I needed them in the first place, but I obviously did. I felt guilty at first because my problems seemed insignificant to others. All work related sadly, but it put me in a frame of mind that needed sorting.
I hope you start to feel better soon. I'm sure you will!
Good luck x
So glad you said that as im just approaching week and i feel really low and very shaky
Thanks all for replying I just hope it starts to make me feel better soon. Just a thought, maybe I am waiting for something to start if that makes sense
