Hello folks, I'm on day 6 and experienced a weird side effect. About 2 hours after taking 20mg I became very restless. It felt like my whole body was screwed up as tight as possible and I nearly started shaking. Is this normal or should I be concerned?

    Hi Bdub, yes that is side effects, alot of doctors normally start people on 10mg to reduce the start up effects. worth reading the patient leaflet that comes with them to put your mind at rest.
