I’m struggling with side effects, do I come off of them or wait?

Wait.

Give it 4 more weeks it will be alot better.

What you are experiencing i expreienced it exactly the same...keep going at it it's gonna be much better

I was the exact same. I’m now on week 6 on 20mg. I still have the anxiety but overall feel fine. 

Keep going with the meds, they will make you feel better. Stay strong. X

If your struggling that bad ask doctor for a benzo...don't give up..if you give up your going to go through withdrawals..and end up in a worst situation..

if you stop taken the medication ,you will get redraw-al symptoms which is not what you want,you have only taken them for a short time and the ssri needs too build up in your body ,so persevere for another 5/6 weeks and i am sure you will start too feel better

Hi Louise 

You will feel worse before you feel better, it’s weird how it works, you will wake up & suddenly boom 💥, no more panic, that’s what happened to me. Everybody’s different I guess

Hope helps

Hi Louise, I too didn’t and could do much for 6 odd weeks. I had ZERO motivation, anxiety and a plethora of side effects, lethargy and constant urinating sometimes every half hour to mention just a few issues I had. I’m week 9 now and feel things are getting slowwwly better.  3 months is supposed to be the benchmark time to allow this med to show it’s true colours or at least see a significant improvement. I know for Lois it was more like 9 months till she recovered. Just don’t give up ok, we’re all here for 4 😉 Manny. 

Louise,  this drug is a mind trip. You are getting through it. I’m on Day 41 but who’s counting. Lol stay with it. The people on this blog are awesome and this is how I’m getting through this. I’m better than I was at 2 weeks ago. Can you force yourself to walk during the day. Listen to music while walking. I know it has helped with the anxiety.
