      Yes 4 weeks is still very early and thats the time when all weird side effects pop up.

      It could be increased anxiety, depression, insomnia, nausea, tiredness, lost of appetite, numbness and feeling jittery and many more.

      But dont br scared, it will all slowly go away

    Hi,

    Yes absolutely I did at the start. It will lessen over time once you level out.

    Starting and changing doses is the hardest part in every way.
