Starting tomorrow - side effects?
I am to take 1 40mg tablet a day to start with (is 40mg a high dose?) and I just wondered if the side effects are manageable.
I have emetophobia and feel sick all the time, I don't want the nausea to get worse, so I'm worried about taking the med. How is everyone else on these?

I take these and they have helped me get my life back on track. I did have a few side effects at first - no appetite, really tired, weird dreams but they have all gone. I take the 80mg slow release version so have a steady amount in my blood all day. This type works better for me but everyone is different.

I have been on 40mg prop since august,the side effects i get are dizzyness,tiredness,Fatigue,yawning,lack of motivation.. They shouldn't upset your tummy.

My gps put me on them to help with my withdrawals from citalopram. They do have a calming affect. I was wandering can you drink on them? I took them years ago when I had an overactive thyroid gland. but can't remember if I drank knowing me I think I would have lol.
I don't like reading the enclosed leaflets I get with my tablets. :ohmy:

Re: Starting tomorrow - side effects?
Yes,its safe to drink on them.. I did,i started citalopram with prop last week and find its harder to drink now. .you will probs get drunk twice as fast and be a bit dizzy tho
Re: Starting tomorrow - side effects?
I took them on and off for a while and drank it was all normal, I have just started fluoxetine and people are saying it's fine to drink on them to, is this true!
Re: Starting tomorrow - side effects?
I like a wine (or three) and when I first started on these tablets I only had one wine and it knocked me out. As time as gone on and my body is more used to them I can drink without falling asleep. I'd suggest you take it slow the first time you have a drink and maybe drink at home to see how they affect you. I was on the same tabs years ago and I could drink no problem but this time they did affect me a bit differently :)

Thanks, a friend of mine is on 40mg and drinks no probes. I will see how it goes in a couple of weeks after I'm used to them!
