Alright, I've had 2 Doctors now recommend that I get started on this medication... they both thought that I would do absolutely amazing on it, so now I'm giving it a shot... I started February 18th on 50mg per night... then increased it on the 26th to 75mg per night... now I'm supposed to increase it again on Monday to 100mg per night...My problem... it's making me into a complete zombie... I've always been sensitive to just about any type of medication, but this stuff has me sitting around like a vegetable all day. When I do try to get up and do things, I'm so dizzy that I usually just give up and lie back down. I'm also having hot and cold flashes.... like I'll be too hot at one minute and need to take some clothes off... then about 15 minutes later I'm so freaking cold that I need to put a few extra layers on...
It's only been this way now though for about 4 days... so what do you think? Is it just a start-up side effect that will go away in time... hopefully soon... or is this because I'm on too high of a dosage to start off with... or is this medication just really not agreeing with me? Anybody experience anything similar to this when they started up on it?
Thanks in advance for any answers...
