    Hi Tim, yes, these are all normal side effects. Sometimes they last for months but their severity will decrease with time and/or disappear. This med makes you feel worse before it makes you feel better. Hang in there!

    Every days different. Still early days for us both.

    Hopefully you will start getting some good days soon.

    Hi Tim

    This is all very normal and we all have side effects from this magic medicine. Some different from others.

    I had all of the ones u have and it went away gradually over about 3 weeks. Just hang in there!

    I have just had mines increased to 100mg and already I can feel some side effects, clenching my jaws and feeling sick, but I know they will go away so I'm just gonna be kind to myself over the next few days/weeks til they pass.

    Bear with it and u will feel the releif soon!

    Xx
