Hi all..!
Recently, I went to my doctor and finally got a prescription etched out for an antidepressant to help with my depression and anxiety, which keeps me from doing too much of anything like progress in my life. Let me premise by saying that I am prone to worrying about my heath--- which is probably why Im here huh, lol.
Anyway, Im young. Just turned 19. I've only taken 4, 10mg doses of the medicine. I can't swallow pills, so I have to crush it in pudding (don't say that its super small and Im a baby, I know I am ppff!! I psyche myself out... It tastes super nasty BTW lol)
I dont know for certain if my mood has really improved because its kind of stinted behind my laying in bed all day feeling crappy. After only 3 doses really, because I felt bad yesterday... I've been waking up early feeling nauseous, dry mouth (ik this is a main side effect, not too worried) a bit dizzy and shaky at some points as well as slight, occasional headache pangs. I may have some underlying stomach issues, like IBS, so Im not sure if this is exclusively a symptom or if the medication is inflamming another issue, but I do know that my stomach/intestines havent been pleased lol. Gas and pain, reduced appetite.
Is it normal to feel so low after only a few pills? Ive never taken a medication before, not like this. Most people Ive seen say that they have issues after at least a week or two, but is it normal to feel so gross, so soon?
