      yes it happened much the same to me Jenmasu, I got to week 8 of 20mgs and hit a brick wall, stopped improving and started to feel hellish again, that's when they put me onto 40mgs, if you feel worse over the next few days you may have to visit your doctors again, but hopefully it's just a minor blip on the road to recovery..... smile

      I think it's a change I did or something. I was feeling awesome the last 3 weeks but the last two days not so good. As for your other post I think some people leave the forum because posts some times bring back feelings. I have realized that when I follow the, symptoms too close I start getting super anxious

    Bless you, sounds like a yuk day :-( this illness and whole recovery thing can be very cruel throwing in a rotten day just when you were feeling so good.

    Hope you felt better for a lie down.

    Take care

    Hi David

    Dizziness and nausea not nice.  I had it when I first started on the meds.  It could however be something else ie labrynthitis or even wax in the ear.  I get a lot of ear problems, and it's the same feeling as the meds can give you - dizziness and nausea.
