I've just been prescribed this by my Dr after telling her the last 5 SSRI's I have tried have made me feel worse rather than better. She said this is an SNRI and should work better and is one of her favourite medications for GAD (general anxiety disorder). I'm just scared of taking it because I feel sick all the time it is and my phobia is vomiting. I know that nausea is a side effect of all anti anixety meds so just don't know what to do. My Dr did say to me you'll feel sick when first starting them so make sure you take your metoclopramide and that scared me. Just don't know what to do now.
