i did have some side effects in the initial start up which wer feeling tired, nausea, clenched jaw, anxiety, loss of appetite. I used rescue remedy for the anxious moments, eat ginger biscuits, bananas, crackers and belvita biscuits for the nausea and loss of appetite and drank loads of water. My sided effects lasted about 7-10 days then I started to feel good with no anxiety for a few days but then I got flu/ chest infection and felt anxiety and low mood creep back, but now on week 5 I am back to that feeling so I think the flu set me back abit and I thought they wasn't working, but I carried on and feel ok again. Apparantly ups and downs r normal in the early stages as it needs time to get settled so I will carry on with them, and if they stop working I will ask for my dose to be upped to 75mg.
Try taking them at night before bed so u sleep through the side effects, some people do get sleep problems on these but I have not had any problem with that part.
The propranolol and rescue remedy really helped with the start up side effects. I wish u well and if u have any questions or just need a chat then I'm here x
