Morning,

Anyone any advice on their experience?
Any side effects? How soon did they start/end?

Took 50mg at 7am this morning
I've never been on any ADs in the past and a little nervous about what to expect

We have a wedding to attend today so I'm a bit worried about being out of it
I've decided not to tell any family except DB and luckily this wedding is a friend one rather than family, but my parents are spending all day Sunday with me and not sure if they will notice something up?

You should be fine. I felt a little nauseous and dodgy tum but nothing obvious to anyone or spaced out. It will be ok and it will pass xx

I've been taking them just over a week now and felt fine. A little heightened at times, but nothing I couldn't handle. I suggest you just forget you've taken it and enjoy your day. Good luck.

I started 50mg last night also and have just felt nauseous.

It can take 2-4 weeks for you to notice any affects. Nausea and headaches are common symptoms to experience when first taking it

Well done op. Don’t worry and enjoy your day.

Thanks for everyone's quick replies 

I was sick everyday with my pregnancy so I feel like I can cope with some nausea for awhile

Thank you x

They also made me have a dry mouth for about a week. Very strange sensation. Stick with them though.
