Struggling today

Posted , 7 users are following.

I'm on my 14 th week, and stuggling today with anxious feelings. I had sugar over the weekend and wondering if could have me keyed up.

I READ some of the posts stating that it can take up to 6-7 months for the anxiety to leave, some being cured like Katecogs

I do feel IT HAS HELPED me in certain ares, but the anxiety seems to be lingering.

Any support you can give me will be greatly appreciated. thank you

    Has anyone else had issues with their heart beating super fast and feeling like it's off beat plus an overwhelming feeling of dread right before it hits? I'm on day four of 5mg and these symptoms are already starting up again even on this low dose? I could handle the anxiety but when the physical symptoms hit it's a whole other story.

      Hi Pamela i was exactly the same when i first went onto the medication but these side effects will go. Unfortunately the meds can make you feel a bit worse to begin with whilst your seratonin levels even out. Things will get better its just early days.
