Sorry everyone, I know there have been a lot of posts similar to this in the past, but wondering if anyone is going through this currently? If so, anyone want to chat/support each other?

my prescription should be ready for collection tomorrow and I’ll maybe take my first one on Saturday morning. Feeling really nervous!

I just started on Wednesday- I have taken it before for anxiety and it’s been great
So far feeling sick, headachey and weak- weird feeling overall but better than constant fear! I’m hoping side effects don’t last long

Hope the side effects don’t last too long for you @PreciousBarry2020
My prescription wasn’t ready but I’ll hopefully be starting tomorrow

When j first started it was awful constant nausea and headaches but it eased off. I don’t like taking it in the evening because I get THE WORST heart pain. I legit thought I was having a heart attack. It doesn’t always happen but it’s scared me quite a lot!

Thanks - I’m also very spaced out, finding that when I sit down I don’t easily get up again which is super unlike me, always on the go
currently trying to work out which time of day is best to take it ..

I’ve still not started yet as I’m wary of the side effects.
@PreciousBarry2020im worried about the lack of motivation/energy as a side effect. That’s already a symptom I suffer from so hate to think what ill be like if it gets worse
