      Hi Catherine.The side effects are horrible. I had insomnia and the shivers and nausea, and anxiety. The anxiety is still with me. Are you still getting side effects

      Yep I get nausea chest pains headaches shaking dizzyness and weird thought's I have bad anxiety but they have eased that that's why I'm toying whether to stop them because of side effects or stay on them because they help my anxiety I think it will be the latter as my anxiety before the medication was unbearable
