      Hi Kerry thanks for asking. But I’m still feeling really anxious, shaky, spaced out. It’s really scary. But I’m back at doctors this afternoon so I’ll see what he says. Do u think this is normal side effects? I ll see what the doctor says. He might up my dose. I just need some advice and reassurance x

      No not when I first started to take medication but when my other medication pooped out on me it was hell on earth...I'm still only half better, I think I had a nervous breakdown after my medication stopped working and I haven't been the same since, I was having panic attacks every 10 mins which I've never suffered from before, hope it gets better soon Debra x
