Felt awful for the first 3 -4 weeks until I settled again now a week ago feel like I'm going back there again 😭 no a apetie at all feel anxious all day and night.

    Sounds like a blip, don't get to stressed about it. Carry on with the tablets.

    Don't think they are not working.

    These meds take a long time to work but they will. Just take it easy and you'll be fine😃

      Hello Angie thank you very much for your reply made me feel calmer. I have eaten a little tonight which is a good sign. My anxiety is at the most highest in the mornings 😥 x
