Cipralex update day 5

[Eggy]

I have been on this for 5 days now, I'm not sure if these symptoms are side effects or something else but i am having problems with:-

*Feeling very dizzy
*Feel strange/spaced out
*Feel really faint
*Don't feel myself

I hope these pills kick in soon and hopefully relieve my symptoms.

Oh I didn't realise you had just started medication.

You are most likely experiencing side-effects then as most people do when they start on medication.

[Eggy]

It's hard to know what symptoms are side effects and what isn't as i have been feeling really rough for 3-4 weeks now, I am hoping within the next few days things might start improving.

[Eggy]

Is it ok to take Cipralex an hour or two earlier each day? I want to take it in the morning but i am currently taking it in the afternoon.

Take it when your gp told you to take it eggy. If they didnt, ring the surgery for clarification

They didn't tell me when to take it, I know you can take it anytime of day.

If you know you can take it anytime then why don't you just try taking it in the morning and see how you get on?

[Eggy]

If i took a pill at 6pm today can i take it at say 11am in the morning should i wish to do so? Or do i have to take it an hour earlier each day or something until it gets to taking it at 11am?

[ladybird64]

I'm not an expert but I really imagine that it will not do any harm to take it at 11 tomorrow.

[Eggy]

I take 10mg at the moment and i want to try it in the morning then if i feel worse i will try taking it at night.
