sue, my doctor started me on a lower dose on 10mg for the first 2 weeks and i have to say other than extreme nausea and feeling spaced out in the first week i now feel great so try and perserver maybe go back and speak to your doctor and see if it might be worth going onto a lower dose for a while i take mine in the evening so i dont feel spaced out in the day it does get better with time, hope this helps 
Thank you for replying ... I have just took 10mg gonna see how i get on ... ..i sleep for britain .. but i feel hungover during the day ... just feel strange ... horrible and am back in work monday ... so fingers crossed
Hi
Try and hang in there - I suffered slightly different side effects to you but now after 2 and a bit weeks, I feel much better and more in control. Keep going if you can and be kind to yourself - don't push yourself too much.
