They are making me feel very fidgety and anxious :( talked to my gp about this and she said if I'm still like it by my next appt with her (feb 3) we can change them.

I've bEen such a mong this moirning that I forgot to take it. I'm not at work, until 9pm. Shall I take it when I get home, or continue tomorow as normal? X

I had the anxious thing really badly...I have never been anxious until I took them for 4 days. I was almost too anxious to go to the loo n I couldn't function n was always crying n suicidal which was a massive shock for me. You def need to talk to your GP hun n keep an eye on symptoms n make sure they don't get worse hun.
As for taking one when you get home...maybe see how you feel. If you feel worse without it then take it, if you feel better without it then don't take it. Could you speak to a chemis or NHS direct for advice?

I'm on ~ a day that I take in the morning.

I've been on it for about 3 years and definately don't think I would be here now without it.

I'm not sure that it's still as effective as it was but my psychiatrist said he may up it to ~ a day so I'll wait it out.

Hope it's going ok for you.

I don't know what I want in life. I don't know what I want right now. All I know is that I'm hurting so much inside that it's eating me, and one day, there won't be any of me left.

Thanks for replying xx

I'm still very fidgety. I'm finding this hard to cope with. Am seeing my gp on the 3rd of feb.

Had my dosage upped today by my GP. I guess I'll see what that does over the next few days or so.  Hopefully not too many side effects.
