I am on day 3 and wondering what to do. I was so worried about side effects that I have only been taking a quarter of a dose of a prescribed 50mg I.e. 12.5mg (I know pathetic right) and even on that for the last couple of days I've been foggy/spaced out all morning and anxious towards the late afternoon/eve, coupled with extra tiredness. Also a feeling of unreality which is horrible but that is something I tend to get when anxious.
Anyway, do I stick to the 12.5 until those symptoms wear off? I know on such a small amount I may not see any benefits, but I'm quite sensitive to medication at the moment and from my google research it seems in America they start people on lower doses than over here. On the other hand I don't want to be taking them, going through all this for nothing.
I was planning to up to 25mg but I'm nervous as barely feel like I can cope with a demanding 3yr old and 5 week old baby as it is. Will those side effects get more extreme? I have to be able function and also to wake up to breastfeed through the night.
Thanks
