    What dose are you taking ? I haven't had a good day yet in 200mg. Got to have review in two weeks see if 200 is too much

    Hi sophieg

    sorry your feeling so bad. The taste and dryness are due to meds.  Have you called you dr to let him/her know how badly you feel.  Probably all side effects of the meds but not a bad idea to check.

    Hi Sophie,

    yes this is normal, cotton mouth as I call it is defo a nasty side effect as is insomnia and extreme tiredness there are lot of other side effects that I had, such as wieght gain, headaches  and unable to reach orgasm, so I came off them, but everyone is different, see how you go, if the side effects persist , see your gp and ask him to change you to a different med, hope this helps,

    I wish you good luck and feel better soon,

    if there's anything else I can help with regarding the side effects feel free to PM me

    hugs,Lynne.
