On one week of flux today....

Posted , 3 users are following.

One week ago today I stared 2.5 of flux cuz I was to scared to take anything higher, day one I felt strange day two was better and each there after has gotten better except I wake up tired but can't sleep anymore and after I take my 2.5 in get a slight headache and am even more tired. Up until yesterday I had no appetite, yesterday I was able to eat some! Yesterday was a wonderful day now again today I'm tired and feel blah sad my anxiety seems to be better except I worry that these feelings of tired and blah will not go away as I have read that ppl get better then at about week two crash and have panic attacks or become manic so that worries me. I am in this med for anxiety and slight depression. Have been on it b4 but don't remember feeling like this. I remember just feeling happy and ready to take in the world. Anyone have some reassurance or advise on how to get over this tiredness. Thank you in advance

      Me too! I used to take it years ago, was on it for years and it worked, not any more sadly, was on it for a week and absolutely knocked me sideways, I'm in midforties, not overweight, non-smoker, tee-total, and it annihiliated my system, suits some more than others. Weaning myself off it, still feel crap but better, can eat now! Good luck to everyone taking meds, I am not anti them but just be careful, they are often there to treat your symptoms not the underlying cause, I am having counselling now and working towards taking care of my self naturally with a good diet, vitamins, rest and gentle exercise. How are you now Tonia, are you ok?

      No, I can't get off my Paxil to get on another antidepressant. It makes my anxiety horrible and I have gastritis since this has started. My Paxil just stopped working. I have OCD.
