Hi Clare, I'm so glad to hear that you are feeling better, I was only thinking about you this morning wondering how you are doing, I too have felt better since I went up to 150mg, there is still room for improvement though, I haven't lost any sense of taste and smell but I still have insomnia, I hope you feel even better in the coming? weeks and you start to feel back to normal xx

Hi Clare,
Yes I had this. It's just a side effect and it went over time.
