Starting on it today for PND. Had it at 11am and feel very sleepy and spaced out. Will I feel like this all day every day or just after taking it? Feel dead inside, can't feel any emotion at all. I'm a bit worried about getting up for night feeds for my 11 week old and looking after a 17 month old. Will I constantly feel flat whilst taking it? Thoughts, advice and experiences mist welcome x

I've been on it for about two months... It made me feel really shit to start with but now I feel so much better. I don't feel flat. Good luck... Stick with it.

Thanks both of you, how long did it take for you to feel better?

Over two weeks. I was ready to stop but then it started to really improve. I'd say three weeks really.

The first five days I was very spacy then it just faded. I have felt much better taking them.

It's quite strong at first but seems to balance out after 3 months. Made me fall asleep a lot in the day.
