    Hey Philip, I am on 40 mg and have the same head thing going on. Think it passes as your body gets used to it. Have the yawning too. What dose are you on? I have you found my head feels foggy too, does yours?

      Hi Phillip, could it be an inner ear problem, if you feel unbalanced? At least your scans came back normal. Hang in there and go back to your doctor if no improvement x

      Thanks Louise

      It's that feeling flat that gets me down too. In my case so hard to motivate x

      How long did you take of work Louise. I haven't worked in months and my job will be at risk if I don't go back in the next few weeks. Really hard when mornings are so difficult x

      Hi Louise

      Slow progress with me. I'm on my fourth month of treatment and seem to be just existing recently upped cit to 40mg. I get better over the afternoon and evening but still have not been able to return to work. Even lost my confidence in going out.

      Apart from your headaches and sleep pattern are you now able to function daily? Sounds like you have been through a very difficult time Louise and truly wish you continued recovery and no headaches and great sleep xxx

    Hi Philip

    Are you on any new medication? Could it be side effects?

    Sounds really unpleasant for you. How long has this been happening?

    Blessings
