hi :)

just been looking through your previous posts and read you have hellish health cancer anxiety . So sorry you feel like this :hugs:

dont have any knowledge of your meds sorry ............but would say to you KEEP GOING .........it is early days and hopefully will help you so much to get back to an even keel .
for dry mouth keep sipping water and swirling it around . also sugar free chewing gum can help .
hold on .........have nice bath .........put the radio on .distract yourself somehow

and remember to eat little and often .
thinking of you xx

I have never taken them but i do get symptoms from other things i take. Not because i have them but because i know about them. Its a horrible cycle. Your doctor knows best trust me x x x

I usually get side effects too with any new Med, i started 25mg clomipramene on thursday, upping to 50mg a week from then so this thursday. The side effects are there but not as bad as the first 2 days, i felt awful after my first tablet.

For me its mainly hot flushes, nausea, insomnia the first night and drowsiness. The nausea has subsided thank god. Just give it a bit of time and see how you go, its hard to ride it out i know.
