      Oh, that's totally normal smile Even I started on 25mg and I got really sick and still feeling a bit tired after 1 week. It does get better though, day 5 when I started to feel a bit better although as you're on 50mg it may take a little while longer. 

      The thing I've seen a lot about is that side effects seem to ebb and flow over first few weeks - some days are good and some days are bad. On the bad days the side effects can change up too. 

      My sister is also on this for about 3 years. She said side effects yes they suck at the beginning for about a month. But then they die down and your body gets used to it all, and it is worth that month of feeling horrible. Hope this has helped smile
