Nausea has stopped or definitely not as bad but i am not sleeping or im shattered in the day and need to nap i still feel quite flat. Im worried about side effects increasing if i increase the dose. Definitely hoping some people will see this and jump on to help

Hi @2023 and @heather95956. I'm just a little bit ahead of you and starting my 5th week on 30mg. I still feel horrible and the mornings are the worst, but I will report back if and when I start to see any positive changes.
Keep going both of you. x

My mornings are hard to explain but a mixture of extreme fatigue, desperate sadness and fear of the oncoming day. Yes, I think that about sums it up! How about yours? x
