Lily-Bee Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 It takes about two weeks to start working, also in those two weeks you might have some side effects but they usually pass within a week or so when your body gets used to the meds, so hang in there if you can. If you have serious side effects though always contact your doctor.Lilly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seafree Posted January 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Thanks so much for your replies. I took two earlier (as i've been directed to take 2 twice a day) and after i posted i could barely move! I just laid there for about 5 hours staring at my wall lol, felt nothing, my mind wasn't racing, just in an utter state of bleeuurrghhh a bit like being ridiculously stoned. I really don't think i need something this strong apart from in hysterical moments- they could come in handy then! I'm so bitter towards taking something which alters the chemicals in my brain to such an extent. Why can't i just be me? With some human support? Why do they have to drug me up...grr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lily-Bee Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 That feeling of being stoned might pass once your body gets used to these meds.Also did you take two at the same time?? Arent you meant to take one in the morning and one at night??I know its not nice to need meds. But sometimes thats just it, we need them. I know I cant function half as good without them. You can also look at it another way you are lucky these meds are avialeble for you. To help you.Lilly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faerielight Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 i only take them before bed, otherwise thety do knock you out.. what dose are you on?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seafree Posted January 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 You've got a point Lilly- i am lucky they are available to help me.Bluebellgirl, i've been directed to take two tablets twice a day. They are 25mg tablets so i guess 100mg a day. I only took them yesterday mid afternoon as it was the first day on them and i was curious as to see what they'd do. However, i'll certainly be leaving them till bedtime today lol.xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
