ON THE CIT FOR THE 2ND TIME

Dear Rachdomel, Stay on them it will take at least 3 weeks for cit to kick in. Maybe you shouldn't have come offf them in the first place. I was on only 2mg for years. They were a great crutch. Improved health soon. mq7.

THANKS FOR THE RESPONSE. WITH HINDSIGHT I KNOW I CAME OFF THEM TOO EARLY LAST TIME - WON'T BE MAKING THAT MISTAKE AGAIN!!!

[quote:365955f77a=\"rachdomel\"]NOW I CAN LOG ON PROPERLY I WILL EXPAND ON WHAT I HAVE JUST POSTED!

A YEAR AGO I WAS PRESCRIBED 20MG FOR ANXIETY AND IT WAS THE WORST TIME OF MY LIFE - WITHIN DAYS OF STARTING THE TABLETS I WAS RINGING AMBULANCES COS I FELT THAT SCARED. I HAD TO BE THEN PRESCRIBED A SEDATIVE TO GET ME THROUGH TIL THE TABLETS STARTED TO WORK - WHICH THEY EVENTUALLY DID

SKIP FORWARD A YEAR AND I FIND I HAVE TO GO BACK ON THEM AGAIN BUT I HAVE REQUESTED 10MG IN THE HOPE THAT THESE NASTY SIDE EFFECTS DONT REOCCUR

HAVE BEEN TAKING THEM FOR A WEEK NOW AND WHILE I AM NOT RINGING AMBULANCES I FEEL EXTREMELY ILL - I AM EXHAUSTED, CANNOT EAT, FEEL NAUSOUS, WEAK, DIZZY AND IT IS AN EFFORT TO EVEN OPEN MY EYES, LET ALONE GET OFF THE SETTEE.

I KNOW I AM NOT HELPING MYSELF BY MALINGERING BUT I GENUINELY FEEL TOO WRETCHED TO DO ANYTHING ELSE.

DOES ANYONE PLEASE HAVE SOME WORDS OF WISDOM OR ENCOURAGEMENT TO HELP[/quote:365955f77a] :cry: I have found this site in the last week or so and read it every day. I'm feeling just like you did first time round apart from ringing ambulances! The side effects you experienced are what i'm going thru. I HATE the nausea, sweats and shivers. I was taking 20mg in the day but changed to 10mg at night, however 1 wk on and definately no better. I find it difficult to wake up and also feel like I,m malingering. I missed a tab last night, I just couldn,t face it, but have read this morning that another person did this and then continued and the side effects weren,t so bad so I,m crossing my fingers. Life's so short and to be like this seems such a waste.

ON DAY 8 NOW AND I DO FEEL A BIT BETTER - THE EXTREME DIZZINESS HAS GONE, THE ANXIETY IS REDUCING - THE EXTREME SICKNESS HOWEVER STILL REMAINS, I HAD TO GET THE DOCTOR TO GIVE ME SOMETHING FOR IT, HOPEFULLY THAT WILL ALLOW ME TO EAT ANDGET MY STRENGTH BACK.

I CAN SEE THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL!!!
