Number9,
I am almost a month in and as I said yesterday it is making me feel agitated. Also, sensitive, a bit jumpy inside, a bit paranoid, unreasonable, hand tremors, numbness in left hand, sweaty oalms, irritable and I think my PMS is going to be horrible. Go see my GP next week...if this doesn't work for me she said we will go see a psychiatrist to determine something...T won't come out with any of her feelings about it and that's fine I guess. I am finding that I sleep a lot less hours and am taking more xanax to countereffect. Also, was just informed that I offended a friend and I could swear T had a scared look on her face last week when I left. I am 5'8 and for some reason people take it that I'm going to be angry or violent when I am actually the opposite...funny how we/people presume things...I always thought of me as the gentle giant...although I'm not that big but somewhat tall for a woman. The attention and concentration have improved though. I think mine will have to be adjusted. GP wanted me to stick it out atleast until I see her. Every morning I wake up I almost dread taking this pill because I feel pretty much ok until I take it. BTW part of my reason for trying it was SAD, probable ADD, obsessive and also that it is known to help with weight loss because I've been in a program where I seemed anxious and counseling was suggested to me as I was unable to keep going with the program and lost 60 lbs. and then started and stopped as I would gain back 15 and eventually that became depressing so since this helps with appetite we tried it because of that and it does help because I've lost about 8 lbs. I do like some of what it does but may need a lower dose or another thing in addition...I fight the med thing a lot too but becoming more accepting. Hope that helps. Also, hoping for results like AG said...totally makes me feel so much more than lexapro which was so relaxing...maybe I'll get at my issues more because I might be a bit less inhibited...or maybe I'll go to an analyst. Time will tell.

Hopeful
