Tiredness....
Posted , 4 users are following.
I have been on 10mg since Sunday and the extreme tiredness is just too much! No matter how much I sleep I am still struggling to stay awake!! Is there anyway to combat this?? Or do I just have to put up with it??

Cita works on our bodies in various ways to treat that which is wrong. Most of us experience this tiredness, some more (believe it or not) some less (lucky or what!) and it is the body saying relax you need to reswhile Cita gets to work. One morning you'll wake up and that'll be that, eventually realising you are not so tired anymore.
Any further concerns do not forget to keep your Dr in the loop, as we should always. You could have a look at your nutrition and see if you are get the right healthy diet (which is ok if you are not feeling the old nausea side effect Lol!), including vitimins B6 and D3 which certainly helped me boost the old serotonin levels. Also (if you can manage to get out of bed) exercise and at least 10 mins of sunshine each day (thatis when summer returns! Lol!). If you cannot then just rest and recouperate until it passes.
Always remember everyone is different and not everyone experiences the same side effects, levels of or intensity as others.
Keep posting, keep asking and we'll keep suporting you!

How can I rest though if I have to go to work :S I can't wait for that morning haha!
Exercising....the most I am allowed to do at the moment is walking as I am still recovering from a back operation but I just wish I didn't feel so drained, but I am not going to give up taking the meds this time...I need to let them run there course....this weekend can't come quick enough!!!
Thank you

i presume you are taking your medication in the morning? I did this initially and was really tired. Now I take it about six in the evening and it works well but check with your doctor first to see what they think. Hope this helps.

No I was taking them in the evening about 7pm, but then I thought today I would try the morning, and I feel worse than ever!! x

Sorry to hear yer feelin worse. I moved my dose to just before bedtime and that worked for me. Let Cita do its job while I slept. Another reason could be that you didn't phase in the move from one dose to the next therefore leaving it too long or worse too short between doses, as your body may think you are increasing!
Anyway chin up Nic and keep posting. I'm posting my reducing update shortly - now that'll make for interesting reading!

David

i found when I switched from morning to evening it took a while to adjust but find evenings better than Mornings as I then wasn't so tired during the day.
next time you see your Doctor tell him /her about tiredness and see what they think.It took me a good three months to feel completely well but worth the persistence.You will get better.😺
