been taking 10mg for 3weeks and my family did see an improvement in my moods etc. I then was put to 20mg which I have been on for 5weeks now. I take the tablet in the evening but I am struggling to sleep. In the morning I am always tired and feel nauseous and shaking which then leads to me being more anxious. I spoke to my doctor he won't look at my dosage as he thinks that is not the problem. Anyone take this medication in the morning.

    hi martin iam just a week ahead of you and same doses given and have the same side effects but also have funny head sensations and eyes sight is off focus that makes me feel off balance its not a nice feeling at all . i take mine in the morning . if your not sleeping they say to take as early in the morning as you can . its hard and i struggle myself feeling like this but from what people on here say it takes at least 12 weeks for things to start improving and going up doses just gives you more side effects and then your brain has to cope with a new dose . they say to wait to you level out on the dose i know its hard as all you want is to feel back to normal but it seems that for most people its a waiting game and things improve hope that helps in some way

    Hi, I take mine every morning. I've been taking 20mgs for 15 weeks now and beginning to see the benefits. Ive felt exactly the same and thought i wouldn't recover, however I AM but slowly. As you will read on here it's a long journey to full recovery and takes lots and lots of time, months infact.

    Keep looking at stories and this forum it will reassure you that it does get better, hope this helps. D 🙂
