    Don't stop, its completely normal and will ease after a few weeks. My anxiety got so much worse in weeks 2 to 4 but after that they kicked in and I felt so much better.

      Thank you Kay! It's hard isn't it when it makes you feel worse first - makes me question why on earth I'm on them ... but I will try and carry on with them : )

      I nearly gave up but I'm so glad I didn't. I was in a really bad place 5 months ago and I'm now back to normal. Its been a rocky few months and really up and down but worth it to feel normal again. good luck x
