Yes it does really help to know there are other people travelling the same road! So pleased to hear the nausea has buggered off Katie! I hope that's continued...what a relief! And really good that you've managed eat actual food again 😃 I'm on day 17, I feel most of the side-effects have passed, and now I'm 'back' to the usual severe anxiety...trying not to feel despondent. It would be soooooooo nice to wake up in the morning without that sucker-punch of anxiety in my stomach! And then I basically spend the whole day in high anxiety. Bloody exhausting!

you are exactly right Lucy ...it is bloody exhausting!! The constant anxiety or constant thinking about anxiety and how the next hour or day is going to turn out is just exhausting especially when sleeping and eating is so disrupted as well!

Hi Katie and Jude, how are you both doing? I feel like I'm through the start-up side effects, but now I'm just back to where I was! Severe anxiety on waking and then all day! Not feeling any benefit yet. Nearly three weeks on 20mg 😦

Hi Lucy, it's great to hear that the side effects are passing for you and that can only make things easier going forward. Hopefully once you can eat a bit more and not worry about the side effects things will start to fall into place. I found I had a much better weekend. The terrible morning anxiety is still there but passing much earlier in the day and the afternoons and evenings were so much easier. I'm certainly not where i want to be but moving in the right direction and hopefully you will too.
It seems to be a long road but we will get there!

Hi Lucy,
Sorry to hear the anxiety bad...have you spoke to your doctor?
The mornings are still bad with anxiety for me!! I hate waking up!! Day 23 today no side effects but still no appetite...the anxiety seems to start wearing off afternoon and evenings..I am still not 100 % yet but hoping that I am 3 weeks in and another 3 weeks want to start feeling happier!! ive been reading up on the SAD syndrome...thinking maybe I have that 

Hi Katie and Jude,
It sounds like you are both moving in the right direction, if the anxiety is wearing off by the afternoon and evenings are better. That's really good! Can't help feeling envious! Think I need to see the doc, as I have severe anxiety/agitation all day, no let up 😦

Hi Katie! How are things going for you? You haven't posted in a while, so I can hopefully presume that's good news and things are improving for you?
