I haven't seen one of these on the forum and I was pretty eager to read up on someone else's day by experiences on this drug when I first wanted to start taking this. I took my first tablet ( 10mg ) last night, with the intention of upping it to 30mg and finally 50mg for a mixture of depression, anxiety ( health and mental health based ) and minor social anxiety.
Day 1
After taking my first tablet last night I felt alright, nothing too adverse apart from a pretty strange sudden nauseous feeling that came on for 10 seconds or so then died off, this happened a couple of times, little bit groggier than normal today but otherwise no different, I suppose it's a pretty low dose so now i've tested the water I'll try going up to 30 tonight.
Day 2
Moved up to 30mg last night and haven't noticed much difference, the nausea from yesterday has subsided, feel a bit drowsy on an evening but that's definitely a positive since I haven't been able to sleep for months, don't feel any different mentally but I know it's early days.
Day 3
Second day on 30mg, still not really a lot of difference, feel a bit more apathetic towards things but that could just be the depression kicking in again, still no major physical side effects and no mental improvement, feel pretty yucky today all round.
13/4/13
Didn't update this for a while since nothing really changed in the way of side effects and anxiety reduction. a couple of days ago however, I woke up noticing the DP/DR had pretty much gone completely, after 8 months of hell it pretty much disappeared over the course of a few days, some of the impulsive OCD thoughts have gone too, it's helped the depression a little but not to a great extent, but hopefully that will fade away if the anx goes completely. This medication has given me practically no side effects either, I felt a bit sick the first day and there's a slight libido loss lingering too but nothing compared to the problems I had before the medication.
