Help :(

[Goggy]

Hi guys

I am on week 6 of these meds and weeks 3 of my increase to 30mg and I had a couple of good days at the start of the week but the last 2 days I have even really emotional, crying, what feels like tension headaches and really bad stomch problems :(

Please tell me this is normal, some advice would be nice as I am really worried that It is never going to work and ATM I can't handle it

Changing the dose will often cause some problems for a few weeks, it should settle down though once your body gets used to it

Hi goggy, i'm sorry ou are feeling so bad, unfortunately with an increased dose can come increased anxiety.

You have
only been on the meds for 6 weeks, and already on 30mg, which will help you when your body adjusts to them.

i think you have done really well increasing to 30mg in just 6 weeks, and be assured that the side effects will pass, try distracting yourself, going for a walk, or anything to take your mind off it, hard i know but remember it is just the meds getting into your system, and they can often make us feel worse before we feel better.

If only there was a miracle cure eh!!! keep well and take care xx

Thank you so much, that was just what I needed to hear I knew it but I could convince myself and when feeling the way I did its hard do do anything as you all know ...... I was having such a good week the. Bam I felt so bad and ever since then I have felt the same all week, I seem to be getting different side effects than I had before but I'm determined to wait them out cause I know the day will come when they fully kick in :)

How are u feeling today ? :)

Sorry to hear your having a rough time, it will be down to the increased dose it can take 4 weeks for our bodies to adjust to increases and for the dose to stabilise, its horrible when youve felt good and then wham it hits you again, the fear that brings is awful, hope you feel better soon :huh: x x

Thanks nicola :) I have read nearly every thread on here and I knew it would happen but it's different reading about it than actually going thought it :(, I thought cause I had different side effects the first 2 weeks they would go away but I have had different ones and it's nearly week 4 of my increase !
