In reply to more side effects of Stablon I forgot to list, posted by sukarno on November 4, 2010, at 2:45:56
I've developed anxiety/depression from Lyme disease I had a year and a half ago.
Last year I tried Zoloft, Lexapro and Wellbutrin with no effect and many scary side effects.
Six days ago I started Stablon at one tablet cut in half. Now I'm up to 3 tablets a day. I didn't really notice any side effects until the 3 tablet level. I'm not even sure if it's a side effect but it seems like the anxiety is more intense. The last couple of days I've had to take 2-3 mg of valium to deal the muscle tightness in my chest.
So far the depression is very intense in the morning but seems to fade as the anxiety builds during the day. My sleep which has been poor seems a little better with Stablon. However, I still wake up at 4:30am and within a few minutes the anxiety jumps on me.
I'm also taking hydrocortisone for low cortisol and Armour thyroid.
I sure hope the positive effects of Stablon kick in within a couple of weeks. Otherwise I guess I'll have to taper off.
Any advice on what to look for in the way of the first positive effects?
Dave
