Hi TrickyTrev,

Welcome to NMP. Many here will understand how you have been feeling and will give you their support. Most meds take a few weeks to kick in and you should start feeling better soon. The first few days you might feel odd though so don't give up. Glad you could take off work during this time and I'm glad you found us.

Take care,

Laura
