I remeber gettting this with seroxat,I remember not being able to stand up and was on the phone talking to somene fine one minute then slumped thenext.Doc told me to initially reduce dose for about 10 days and then start to increase. are they capsules or tablets?? It could just be that your body is just feeling the effects quite strongly, like me your sensitive to chemicals.

they do make you feel very sick - during my last course I felt far worse and that did nothing for my feelings. If I were you I would go to bed and sleep off the worst of the effects, tomorrow go to your doctor and tell him you want to consider another version.

It isn't that late, please see if you find another Mumsnetter to come round until you sleep at least . .

Just phone the GP again and tell them you haven't got anyone who can come to you. Tell them you are still not feeling at all well and you are worried. You are on your own at home with two (it is 2 isn't it?)young children and you really think you should be checked over.

That's probably because you're frightened. Have a hot milk drink - drinking choc or something.

Where are you Esbee? Would the GP not come and see you if they knew no-one else could? Are you feeling better at all?

Lustral is an SSRI. They are known to induce panic attacks however it is virutually impossible to overdose on them however they can be sedative. Have you taken anything else?

I took them a few years ago and found them horrible. They induced headaches and make me very sleepy and panicky. Side effects will disappear after 2-4 weeks but I gave up on them after a few days.

No not sleep Esbee. You are not well. Are your kids there?

jangly · 25/04/2005 22:29

The drug could be having a more sedative effect because its late and you're tired.
