    unfortunatly this does happen with most of these meds. it just takes longer to get there or you loose the feeling fast, the only advice i can give is you just need to be patient with yourself and try not to think about it. You need your partner to help you too. im on 100mg sometimes its easier than others good luck. If you are uncomfortable maybe go see the doc and get checked out.
