    HI Joe,

    These are all side effects. I suffered with them as well. Don't let them scare you, they will pass in time. This is a slow acting medication but when it gets settled in your system you will start to find peace. How long have you been on flou?

      Hi joe... yep same here to say sorry wayyyyy to early for this med to work, but like Laurie said we’ve all been there, and the first 14 days are hell on Earth, you will get turned inside out, BUT this drug does work in the end, I wanted to give up in the early stages, but just lived on hope that as each day passed I’d soon be better, and I am, never felt so good for a long time, so you will get there, just beleave in this drug and yourself, keep talking and we all will listen to you on here good luk and do let us know how you are going 🤗x

    Dawn, Pam and I supported each other through this difficult process. We all made it and it was hard. Keep fighting Joe. It's very early on for you. I know this will be hard to hear but it's usually between 4-6 weeks before you see and feel definite improvements. That's not to say that won't notice some before. Everyone is different. Talk to us whenever you want. We will be here for you. The support and understanding you get from the people here will help you through. What you are going through is typical of this drug but it won't be forever and you are not and will not go crazy. 

    Be strong my friend. You are not alone. 💪💪????
