Hey guys, me again...

I've been on for 23 days (only 25 mgs- for GAD and panic). I have made it through the worst of the symptoms-- insomnia rears up every now and then... But yesterday and today have brought nausea and flushing of my face. Neither are awful but noticeable. Was wondering if anyone else had had "new" symptoms crop up at 3 weeks?

Thanks y'all! I appreciate it!

    Hi Sarah, I am 25 mg as well for anxiety and after 2 month is I realised some strange thing like light dizziness ... Even if I feel much much better I thought is strange to feel these after two months.

    Snap Sarah, I've just gone into the 4th week and had a funny day today. Very similar side effects. Felt sick, like I was in a fish bowl, dizzy and shaky.

    Yeah, I'll randomly get a symptom that I hadn't been experiencing for a while. I just put it down to the mysterious world of SSRI's. smile

    Hi again Sarah! I am starting Day 26 now and feeling terrible. Last night I kept waking up during the night and I was getting really hot and sweaty. I've heard night sweats can be a side effect but last night was the first time I experienced them. My nausea is also back in full force. I'm hoping this is temporary!

      My night sweats are horrible. I wake up soaked along with my clothes, sheets, etc. It isn't like my house is warm. Usually aroung 66-67 in the Winter when I go to sleep. I have been having them for years now as I have been on antidepressants for many years.
