Feeling abit down today, i have heightened anxiety, feeling more sick aswell. Hopefully it wont get to much worse!
Gav,
Totally normal and nothing to worry about. The best thing is to keep distracted and getting some fresh air helps the nausea so you could go for a walk?

Thanks Pip, any idea how long it lasts for?
Im going for a walk in abit, get some fresh air, i didnt sleep well either woke at 5.30am and couldnt go back to sleep?
Gav.
2-3 weeks Gav is the norm. You'll probably peak at around 10 days and then gradually get better. If you don't already, you'll probably start to feel a bit fuzzy headed too but again, walks in the fresh air really help.
If you're having a bit of trouble sleeping, make sure you're taking the tabs in the morning. I can't remember if you're on 1 or 2 a day.
The most important thing is just to carry on as normal. You'll see huge benefits but at the minute, your brain's just adapting to higher seretonin levels. If you're still feeling generally ok by this stage, you'll be fine.

Im always feeling lightheaded have done for months, the ENT specialist said it was due to the anxiety levels in my body? Im on 75mg a day, 37.5mg in morning and evening.
Gav.
My advice would be to take the morning tab as early as possible after breakfast and then the pm one 12 hours later. The earlier you can take the pm one, the less effect it will have on your sleeping.
Once you're settled on the dose, speak to your GP about the extended release caps or tabs as you only take them once a day and they affect your sleeping less.
Keep at it - you're doing really well!

Noticing more symptoms today, ive got a lump in my throat all the time and its hard to swallow? also i keep getting a tingling sensation up the back of my neck? Is this normal? I guess the drugs are getting into my system now.
Gav,
The throat sensation is just increased anxiety, as are the other aches and tingles you're getting. Just ignore them and try not to let them bother you.
When I started, I just carried on at work as normal and didn't really notice them as I was so distracted. It was only when I was at home with time to think that they started to bother me so I just went out for a walk or read.
You'll be fine
