Hi Aly,
I have been taking 20mgs for nearly 3 weeks a feel a little better. The mornings seem to be the worst, very anxious and feeling sick but it passes. I was told that it could take 4 to 5 weeks to feel anything at all so we must hang in there.. Good Luck and your not alone.

Been here before so I know I have to be patient and let the medication rebalance the serotonin and that takes time but its hard to be patient and not get frightened that it wont work this time.
I also get a racing pulse from time to time as a side effect and that's horrible

I can tell you need a lot of support right now. I know how you feel - you feel you must be the only one like you, a bit silly, that you should just pull yourself together. I have a really good gp and she told me that I should just think of this as a chemical imbalance in the same way that diabetics have a chemical imbalance. It's easy to get caught up in the \"stigma\" of anxiety etc. Hard to be patient, but stick with it and try to keep busy. Remember to rest when you need to though.

Just to let you know that today started really well, so positive, then this evening a drug crazed driver smashed our car and van and that set anxiety through the roof. Fortunately no-one was hurt but finding hard to cope with the situation. Just hope I can sleep ok and tomorrow things might look better.
Such is life. Margaret
