> O.K., It's been nearly 3 1/2 weeks or 24 days, and I'm still sick as can be! I never had this many SE's, I think I'm gonna increase my dose from 10mg to 15mg tonight. I'm scared!!! The rediculous part is, my joke of a pdoc told me this new A/D (Lex), "Has a very clean SE profile"!!! I'm losing alot of hair too! I'm still clenching my jaws!!Plus all the other stuff I've been complaining (suffering from) about since I started posting here! NO lights have come on over here!!!(meaning the drug has started working) Some of you guys/gals waited 4 months?!?! F@#!%K THAT!!! If this dose increase doesn't do the trick, I'm going back to Zoloft (or serious street drugs!) THANK YOU for letting me rant...Gotta go lay down, the room is spinning...again..Jackie
I know how you are feeling....been there, done that. Not sure who had to wait 4 months??? that's a bit exessive, and I certainly wouldn't wait that long. Most of the literature, studies, opinions, word of mouth, folklore, suggest 6 to 8 weeks. I suffered a lot w/initial SE's but they all have gone away and I'm doing MUCH better now...going on 5 months. You've gone this far, please consider giving it the 8 weeks befor you decide, because the worst of it is probably over now, or will be shortly.
We're all pulling for you~~~8|8
