    Hi Linda, what dose were you started on? It's good that your mood has improved after a week!

    I was started on 30mg and have been on it for just over three weeks (just had a refill and dose upped to 60mg)
    I had the jitters, increased anxiety, occasional headaches, just the start of dry mouth and some nausea, which put me off my food. All passed now, apart from a bit of insomnia.

    If you're really having trouble I would speak to your doctor. He/she maybe able to give you something to offset the side effects, or alter your dose.
