Treatment and medication

Does anyone find if they take their meds at a different time to normal that they feel groggy that day ?

2

I find that I just feel groggy in general on them. These come with a number of side effects that come and go. Don't worry about it! How long have you been on them?

5 months

Hi John did u ever get that scary feeling straight through ure heart then woke you up 

5

Yeah I did early doors then woke up in a panic and sweating was horrible but has passed now x

6

Hi John how long was you into ure medication when they finally stopped? Cus I’ve been bk on paroxatine now for the past 5wks. And still feeling really anxious and crap x

7

I have been on setraline for nearly 5 months now and took about 12 weeks on 50mg for the side effects and the anxiety to reduce . I can't advise on paroxatine but all meds take different times to start to work but 5 weeks is not long x

Thanks John did you feel anxious, shaky and feeling detached liked u ad lost ureself and feeling detached from luv 1s. The side effects are awfull and scary. I can’t wait till these tablets start to kick in properly x

Yep I sure did and still do some days x

Hi John did you take anything to help with the side effects. And did you ever take sleeping tablets x

11

No they prescribed me propropanol and I took one and had a huge panic of all panic attacks so not touched one since . I don't have a problem with sleeping as I work long hours so am always buggered when I get home x
