Thanks Jebdog, it is really hard though.

I think i must be weak as i just feel i cant carry on feeling like this.
How do you find the strength to carry on with a new drug when it makes you feel so bad you just want to curl up and die?

Im sorry, i just dont know what to do anymore.

Your not weak at all. Anxiety/Depression are horrible, horrible things. It's not so much the med making you feel the way you are but the anxiety about them, maybe if it's really tough you could ask the doc for some diazepam to help through this tough first week but try to battle through and keep occupied if you can. Appreciate it is very, very hard though.

I do have some diazapam, but im worried to take it as im feeling sick and dizzy and i worry the diazapam might make it worse.
Thats sad isnt it.....

Maybe i should just try it?

Thanks for your support, it makes me feel a little bit less alone.

Well, on day 4 now.

I actually managed to get some sleep last night, but other than that i'm still feeling sick, panicky, and just damn strange.

However, i have noticed that although i'm still having depressed thoughts i dont think they are as bad as a few days ago.

What is getting to me is not being to able to go out anywhere and spend quality time with my kids.

Hopefully things will improve soon.

Thanks.

I'm now on day 5, and not feeling any better. Still very fuzzy headed/dizzy, still feeling sick, still feeling confused, still very 'on edge'.
Spoke to my doc this morning, he wants me to give it more time - just hope its worth it.....
