View Full Version : Ciprolax
Hi,
I have just joined your site so I feel like a bit of an outsider but I was prescribed Ciproloax 8 days ago due to severe anxiety and panic attacks. The sickness, thirst and headaches are horrendous. I know they are side affects but any idea how long they will last? I am taking 5mg per day. Not seen much difference yet. Any advice?
Thanks x

I assume you mean Cipralex?
If so then have a read of the posts in this specific forum..

Hi Catlady
I took Cipralex last year and really regret ever that i stopped. It worked well but took about 5 weeks and a dosage uppage to 15mg before i started to see significant improvement. I know it seems like i long time, but it seems to be a good med. I'm on Seroxat at the moment and really struggling, 3 months in and i can't seem to stabilise at all. Having a very bad time. I was great after 3 months on the cipralex.
Stick with them catlady
Love and Hugs

I am on Cipralex. I was prescribed it just before Christmas, my dosage is 10mg.
I have not had side affects but was warned I could have them. My Doctor also said they could take 10 days or more for me to feel the affects.
I still had an occasional 'wobble' for a while after taking them but now I feel OK and I'm sure its helping me a great deal.
Stick with them, they do take a while.
Many thanks for your replies. I am now on week four and my GP on Thursday increased my dose to 10mg per day. I still feel no different, very panicky when I go out, especially when queuing or in busy areas. My legs go wobbly, my heart races, I overheat and feel like I am going to faint or be sick. I will keep taking the tablets though. I am determined to beat this. I am to see my GP again on the 4th March - I will keep you updated.
One of the main side effects I now have (thank goodness the rest seem to have subsided) is weakness and tingling in my legs and arms and feeling very tired. I cannot stop yawning. Is this usual?
Again, many thanks for your help and advice.
Marie.
Hi,
Hi, Just a quickie by way of update.
Well now into week 12 of cipralex and to be honest the progress has been long and hard, but I think now that it is finally starting to have some impact on me. I still get very panicky and nervous when out shopping but nowhere near as bad as I used to. I used to think all the time about panic attacks but that is getting less and less now also.
So please anybody who has just started this medication keep with it. I was so tempted at one point to give up as I thought it was not working. But I would have been crazy to do that.
I will update again in a week or so. Back to see my GP on the 7th May. He did mention about reducing my dose back down to 5mg per day next time I saw him. I don't think I am ready for that yet.
Bye now.
Marie
