hi all i have been on these for a week now after feelings of absolute despair following the loss of my business, my marriage failing and a move to a different place. the lonliness hit me like a ton of bricks but i found a job and am working which helped. sometimes i just wanted to die. after a visit to the docs he decided to put me on these tablets.to be honest and i really mean this. i have had no side effects and after just 10 days i am feeling so much better. i described my head as being like a pigeon box and i had piles of letters to post but couldnt find the right holes to put them into. hust couldnt put things in order and everything was right in front of my face. today things are a hell of a lot clearer, i am not crying all the time, i feel better, look better and can concentrate again. i also am happy! in myself for the first time in ages. so i can only say positive things about these tablets. i am now comfortable with myself and all the other things that were problems, i realise were made bigger by my state of mind. hope this helps someone am sure i would have done something stupid if i had carried on as i was.

10mg is a pretty normal starting point (I've read soooo much before i took any, not good with taking meds!) It is totally dependant on you individually though, my psyc (yes I was pretty bad at my worst) started me on 20 upped it to 30 a few weeks ago and I have to see him again on wednesday so we'll see how that goes..
THey take between 2 and 6 weeks for most people but again it is veyr dependant on each individual case..
They do make a difference before taking them I wouldn't talk to anyone, I hadn't tidyied my place for about 2 or 3 months (honestly it was horrible & I was ashamed which made it worse!) but now I am staying on top of that, even went out for my work christmas do last week! They really do help!

Yes, 20mg did lift me alot I started on 20 and the difference was noticable my psyc said he was upping me to 30 because of how bad I was when he first saw me (I had spend the whole day in tears first to the councillor who refferred me the same day to the psyc) I was very close to suicide (I had it all planned I was just trying to justify it to the small part of myself that was still rational)
Being put on 20mg got me to the point where I was thinking more rationally more of the time I stopped being so paranoid and started to talk to people (Before that I had only realy spoken to one friend and was still unwilling ot eve think about depression/stress/anxiety)
So yes, 20 helped alot... I guess just in my case he thought i needed more and that may happen again tomorrow (have been having quite bad mood swings)
