    hi chrissy. do not worry they are not going to work, the fact that you are having good and bad means they are, give it a few more weeks and you will be seeing lots more improvement. I am 6 months in on 50mgs and fully recovered, went through what you are going through now, which is normal for this kind of medication. hang on in there, when it gets rough just tell yourself it is only the meds working their magic and you will not feel like this forever
