Hi Can anyone help please? I am on 20mg and am on day 5 of taking them. I started with horrendous headaches and very bad nausea. The headaches have gone and the nausea is still there slightly. But i feel a bit spaced out and very numb - no tears but not happy. How long will this last for?
hello
i can empathise with how you are feeling, I have just increased my dose from 10 to 20mg, this is my 6th day and like you, the headaches have gone but I still feel a bit sick and very spaced. I am work now and I could just lie down and go to sleep. It can take a couple of weeks for the side effects to subside depending on the individual. I actually feel like I want to cry but can't, like there is something stopping me. I hope the anti depressant properties kick in soon but I know they can take up to 8 weeks to properly start having the desired effect.
hope this helps or at least lets you know you are not alone
best wishes

Thank you for your reply. Yes it does help to know that i am not alone in the way that i am feeling. Day 7 and the spaced out feeling has gone - not crying and even occassionally laughing !!!! Wahhee
Just wish i could look forward to things now - everything seems such a chore - but ....... am hoping once the tablets have kicked in prop i will x
I am pleased you are starting to feel better, it does take a while, I am still a bit spaced but not as bad and I just feel numb. Like you I am finding absolutely everything a chore, especially work, I don't know how I am going to get through each day but I do. I want to feel happy again and feel motivated about things I used to but I don't at the moment, I hope the effects start kicking in soon
best wishes
