-Chest Pain

-Tight neck and hurting neck

-Bottom right of your abdomen hurting

-Dizziness 

(I'm 11 years old so it might be just my age on these medicine)

Also I use this for anxiety and the doctor told me that it might take a few weeks

    yes, i get this all the time and i’ve been on it three years. today was the first day i didn’t take it because i’m going cold turkey even though i shouldn’t, but i can’t get in to see my doctor for 3 months. i just feel like this isn’t doing anything for me anymore, maybe it never did and i’m just now noticing

      Thank you for the help I feel way better now and I understand that it will take a while for it to take effect and get rid of these new medication feelings.

      i cannot wait 3 months to see a doctor, i  really can’t. i’ve already started the process anyways and i’m going to document my symptoms as well for anyone else who decides to go cold turkey. that way, i’ll post mine and if they don’t think they can handle it then they won’t do the same as me.

    So you're saying you got pain in your chest and abdomen and dizziness on your first couple weeks and it gradually starts getting less?

    Hi James, for me I got all of this and more. I dropped 12kg in 3 weeks. Most of the SE went for me after about 8 weeks, but they changed weekly - I was a mess when I went on it though. I'm just coming off it now and not having too many issues - just going slowly. Hang in there, it gets easier.

    Thank you guys for all the help it makes me feel really better! I'm 11 years old and I'm just really curious because since I started taking this I've been getting pain all over my body. The thing that sucks is I get a bit more anxiety from this, but I understand it'll take a while!

      So the side effects will stop because it's just normal for side effects? I think it's normal because you're starting something that your body is used too?

      Do you mean I'm too young to be on the fourms or on the medicine?
