Hi all,

I only take 37.5 mg first thing in the morning and I’m just into my 4th week. Last couple of days I’ve started to feel rather dizzy. 

Any advice?

    talk to your doctor.. you are only on your 4th week.. sometime it takes longer..  but really should keep in touch with doctor to see what is going on..  i am on 22 days of ven and i feel sick in mornings. i am on 112.5 now.  i take mine with food.  and i always have a stomach ach from nerves when i wake up and think to much..  but you are on the low dose still so hope that you get better and don;t have to move up.. it does take time for these meds to take affect..  don;t change too soon. but i would keep in touch with your doctor..  i hope other will post to help you too....

      Thank you Jennifer.  I’m going to stick with the low dose for as long as I can.  Funny you should say about the sicky feeling in the morning . I also have this, and feel quite low all a.m. it’s now 3.15pm and I feel soooo much better. Hope the morning blues disappear x
