anyone else feel physically unwell in the early months of being on ADs? now that the anxiety is not quite so intense after 6 weeks i just dont feel that well - headachy, slightly fluey, really tired, just not right. anyone else been like this? even though ive got my appetite back a bit im still not putting on any weight (really need to as have lost so much) so im worrying that theres something else going on other than just the anxiety and depression.

    Hey, sorry to hear you feel rubbish. I was just about to put the same thing. I have started with a banging head ache and being boiling hot but feeling cold. I have looked at the side effects of the type I am on and these seem to be the side effects. In the past I have had headaches due to my anxiety so I am at the moment putting it down to that. I am going to see the dr in a day or two and will be asking her if it is normal as struggling to function with it. Hope you feel better soon

    Hi Tamsin I'm on my 7th week on 20mg like you my anxiety has eased off but I feel really lethargic and have no drive . I hope this gets better soon but at least the anxiety is getting better so that's a big plus. Take care. Paul
