    Hi i was put on 50mg about a week ago i felt shocking couldn't eat sleep was waking up wet frew my mind was working even more over time i cut mine down to 25mg still waking up with the sweats but not as bad mind still a bit foggy but mostly on a night/morning but eating loads better maybe start off with a smaller dose first and build yourself up love am sticking at 25mg for a couple more weeks as only been on them a week see how i go the trick is not to let it bother you and it will go ino it's hard really hope your well soon x

      Hi Princess.

      i just increased to 75mg from 50 last eve.  This am teary, intrusive thoughts. Feeling hopeless.  Like you I wish we could wave a magic wand and make us all live the life we want.

    Not sure if I have any tips.  Why were you adjusting your dosages over the 12 weeks.  Must be very hard on your system.  Did you feel any improvement on any dosage or were you not long enough on any to help.  I just increased to 75.mg and have the side effects and it has been 6 weeks for me,

    I think the dose is too high. I was on 50mg they took a couple of weeks before I felt any benefit. Once they got in my system they were brilliant. Only Down side for me was the weight increase so I've come off them and now on I'm on fluoxetine x
