hi,
i have tried Stablon for 12 days now at normal dose (3x12,5mg) and the only effect I can describe is that it makes me feel more down, without any sense of initiative, lethargic, and way more anxious.The lorazepam I am used to take for about 1,5y, has lost it's strength due to the stablon.After about 30min I take Stablon, my mood goes down and down until I only want to sit in a chair and do nothing, losing all intrest. After some hours, this improves again.
My question is if this is to be expected when starting Stablon? Should I continue for some weeks and take more lorazepam or valium?Or try a lower dose? I tend to react strongly to meds, especially the side effects.I've had a similar experience with Seroxat. First weeks were great, no more anxious. But after about 6 weeks, when the anti-depressing affect should kick in, I really got depressed!Most of the time thes last 2 years, the only thing that makes me feel better is lorazepam.I'm also taking 25mg of Amytriptiline for sleeping, and I am getting off Nortrypthiline (I got to 50mg a day and with higher dose would increase anxiety-which is a common side effect of nortrilen-and am currently taking 25mg a day). I had some really good days with nortrilen, but all of a sudden also some bad days without any cause and that scared me so I wanted to stop. Maybe it's normal to experience some bad days and I should be more patient and stick to nortrilen? I had some great hopes on Stablon, but it has been e big disappointment for me so far and I'm am anxious to continue it..
