Thread: End of my second week on 20mg CIT

  1. #1

    End of my second week on 20mg CIT

    Well I have to say, end of week 2 and still going well. CIT really does work! So far....

    I must admit I am struggling to sleep at the moment and had the last 2 days off work as a result, so I am going to take my first sleeping tablet tonight! I have also felt a little sick which was weird as I did not feel too bad before the last couple of days, its like I have reached my level of CIT in my system now.

    My irritableness is less, I am definitely a lot happier and more level and the anxiety is still reduced.

    Will report my 3rd week.

    Stay positive everyone and stick with it!

    Glad to hear it. I am a couple of weeks ahead of you and on 40 mg. It gets better every few days for me. You should see an end to the insomnia soon I would think.
    Best wishes,
    Elaine

    Week 2 just over for me too. Not too bad so far - bit nauseous but looking on the bright side, I've lost 8kg!

    Still waking up early and anxious though.

    Good stuff

    Doc has seemed really reluctant to give me anything to help me sleep, I'm guessing she has her reasons as she's been really really good otherwise.

    Maybe they fret about addictive/dependency issues. Some GPs are reluctant to prescribe anything that might be habit foring.

    I'm taking Zopoclone off and on and find it really helpful.

    I am so glad you are feeling better. My sleep was affected the first 2 weeks but hang on in there, it does get better. I am on week 7, had 2 really good weeks but the low moods have reappeared for the past 3 weeks, so am thinking about upping to 30mg, see how I go next few days, I know we all need different doses to help us.

    It takes up to 6 weeks to settle, I sweated at night and my skin was burning, do hang on in there, I know its hard but it will get better.
