Thanks.

It made me a lot worse unfortunately :( But for some people it seems to work well. As with anything each to their own. Hows it going?
Iv only been on it for 3 days so nothing much yet. I was on lexapro before which seemed to make me worse.
Hi
I've been on it for about a year and I have gone from not wanting to leave the house to a degree at university, due to sit my driving test, long term boyfriend and much happier life :=)
Lots of people have had bad experiences but for me it works. Its hard to get it in your system at first, it takes a while but give it a chance :-) x

Hi Leese glad that it has worked well for you. Wondered if you could tell me how long it took to kick in and what dosage you are on. I am on 75mg for about 2 months just coming through side effects cheers Jayne
Hi Jayne
Sorry about my late reply, I have not been online for a while.
I don't remember exactly how long I have been on them, about a year now I think.
It took a while to get use to them, around 4 weeks before I actually felt any different but now I feel a whole different.
The only issue I have had with them is I can not drink alcohol while taking them, they have a horrible effect after a few drinks. This has made socialising with some of my friends difficult as I am still expected to get wasted wit them and as I am embarrassed to tell them about the tablets they dont understand why I suddenly stopped drinking.
Anyway that aside yeh they work great for me providing I take them at the same time everyday and straight AFTER food Im good :) x
How are you getting on? x
