Hi try to keep with it as it does take time to get into your system and start to numb your feelings. Everyone on here is to support you so dont feel like you have no one to talk to. Be strong

chalkie keep at it, it's different for everyone thats what my doc says I'm only 5 days in so I'm really trying to keep positive which is very hard sometimes! If it doesn't feel like it's working after I don't know a couple more weeks maybe you need to try something else speak to your doc, best of luck x
Chalkie, keep with it. It will get better. Been on flu ten months now but i remember feeling exactly as you are. So desperate. You feel as if you'll never feel normal/better again but you will. It takes time but flu will work. Stick with it and good luck.

Thanks for your kind words.
Sam 09 at what point did you start to feel better ?
This is really making me feel that i can't be bothered anymore.
Hi Chalkie
I think i started to feel better at about week 5 or 6. I really never thought i would and felt i just couldn't go on anymore feeling as bad as i did. Everyone kept saying to me that you will feel better but i didn't believe them as i'm sure alot of people on this site will agree with but it WILL get better. It is still early days for you really. Hate to think of you suffering the way you are, i remember it all so clearly, most awful time of my life. Scared to ever go there again.
Keep up with the tablets and i really wish you good luck

Mr Chalkie
I know exactly where you are coming from. The extemes will pass but you have to give it time. Please don't do anything rash. Anytime you are feeling like this send a post. We are all here for support, encouragement and we really do care.
It was driving me tonto at your stage but as i've said before in a couple more weeks things should level and the extremes be less pronounced.
Trust me, i know.
i'm back at work now but boy is it hard. The frustration and lack of patience can be overwelming.
Stick with it, i know you are suffering. If there is no improvement in a couple of weeks go and see your doc again. If you go now they will probably say to give it more time, like mine did.
Grrrrr it's so frustrating. 
Chalkie, have you been to the doc yet? I just had my dose upped to 40mg, hoping this will improve the situation.
No i have'nt been to the doc's. Cant book appointment till monday. Some silly system at the surgury. Felt bad this morning as per usual but this afternoon i feel okay even marked a possible day for return to work on the calender. (easy to done that when your ok)
Everyone seems down today. Tried to explain to the wife that i/we dont choose to feel like this. She said it was hard for her to understand and she does'nt know what to say so she keeps quite.
Hope everyone will feel better.
6 weeks for me too, not the 2-4 it says on the box, keep strong, keep going :wink:
I know, people, even the ones who love you, dont always understand. And thats ok, as long as they try to understand as much as they can. Its so difficult. My boyfriend doesnt really understand, and sometimes says the wrong thing, or gets frustrated with me but thats not his fault or mine really. Still, it makes you feel like its your fault doesn't it?!
