Terrible side effects after 2 days, should I continue?

Hi mate I went through exactly what you are it is normal . You will feel like this for about 4 to 5 days

I my self broke the tablet in half and had it every 12 hour Until my body got used to the pills,it's only your body trying to reject it, they will help I have been on 50mg for 3 weeks now I am 100 as I feel I needed to. But yes again I split my 100 into 12 hours until I get used to them he that helps

Thanks very much, I think I will half my next dose and see how I go with it. I really want to try and persevere with it but these side effects are making me feel even more anxious than before!

Yes I really know how you feel. You will feel worse and think why am I taking this! Let them get in and except them try not to fight it. Say to your self they will make me feel better you just need to get over the 1st. Hurdle

I know I can't wait to get over this initial feeling! Will persevere until I feel better .

Get some diazapan

Hi there . The side effects are normal for the first few weeks after starting sert, I was given diazepam to begin with to help calm down the anxiety and it helped me. Do continue you will see the benefits . I also started at.25 mg for the first two weeks then increased to 50 mg . I take my tablet in the morning.

How are you today ? X

morning all,

i am on 100mg for my 3rd week on saturday just gone, before that i was on 50mg but didn't feel any better after 5 weeks so doc put my dosage up. feeling alot better but still think i've got a couple more weeks before i feel the full benefit from it. i have lost a stone in weight from when i first started taking them, i take mine every morning first thing, i've heard people saying that they can't sleep at all if they take at night, but my experience from taking in the morning seems to set me up for the rest of the day. having a good day today, but last week, i was great but thursday/friday i felt a bit off, no where near as bad as i was and there were no tears, for the first time in months, just felt a bit flat, which i can cope with if that's as bad as it will get. nothing in particular set it off, it just comes and goes, but stick with your medication, they say after 8 weeks, you should start to feel the full benefit of them so here's to the next 2 weeks for me, hopefully all this anxiety, worry and dipping in mood will be a thing of the past. i hope so and feels really comforting to hear other peoples stories and makes me appreciate that i'm not alone in this hell phase of my life, we are all in it together. i'll keep my fingers crossed for you all and have a good day everyone :-)

Well good on you.I think you have to be assertive when taking them

You have to believe you will get better and don't fight the medication.

Our body will do that any way,as we have all of the side effects.

thanks gawen4321,

i must say i feel that i have got off quite lightly compared to some peoples experience, i had migranes and increased anxiety too for the first 4 weeks but they have since stopped :-) none of my side effects were bad enough for me to be thinking about coming off them or stopping them. i don't think that is a good idea at all for anyone to do.

Yes same here. I have hypnosis to a pay private. And I must admit it's been so helpful as our own imagination

Has created this so it can get up out of it, with the right help

hi again gawen4321,

so you have hypnosis therapy for your depression do you?? and when you start feeling down about things, the hypnosis pulls you out of it does it?? a bit like CBT therapy but better :-) can you explain more to me about this please?? i suffer with severe depression and i get anxiety when i start feeling low worrying over my next depression dip and how long it will last and what effects it will have on me mentally and long term.....i'd be interested to hear more about how it's helped you and exactly what goes on with that, i've never heard of depression hypnosis before.... thanks and have a good day :-)

Well i had a bad stammer 12 years ago i tried hypnosis and it worked i still have a little stammer.

So i tried the same with my anxiety. and it works .He talks to me about how i feel and what i think may trigger things off and he gives me tho tools the idea how to over come it .Then he calms me down and puts suggestions into my sub conshense mind.I go away feeling great and positive relaxed He gives you a tape or c/d

with his voice on and any time you feel uptight you listen to the c/d and you are back in the room. Thats it i

have gone 5 times at £60 a session 1.5 hours long
