If you aren't feeling significantly better after a few weeks on the drug, tell your doctor you want to change. I have been way too patient and compliant with such things in the past (not wanting to be a bother to my doctor, etc.) and have stayed on drugs suffering side effects but no efficacy for much too long.A BIG THANKS TO ALL OF YOU!!!!
Good morning and I really feel this way,for the first time since I got pregnant or given birth...I feel calmer and quieter(those around me tell me this who know me as a social butterfly) and well even lost 6 punds which isn't bad since I am 160 pds and 5'3 so it can't hurt at this point right?Thanks JohnX and Kate,ponder and Geno just knowing others out there through this emotional medication there are peope who understand and can relate.Today I feel good and not tired and actually good.Thanks for support I will check in periodically with all of you thank you.
