OK, so I talked to my Psychologist about the AD's and decided that I'd give them a try. She felt there was nothing to be lost by trying them for a month or more. I felt that maybe I was being too stubborn and not allowing myself to use the tools that could help me over this hump. I'm taking 10mg of Cipralex and I took one Thursday night. Friday I was pretty wasted and stayed home from work. I felt so tired and kept falling asleep. I snoozed much of the day. I phoned the pharmacist and she told me this was a pretty normal reaction for the first couple of days while the body gets used to the drug. She told me to take the next dose earlier in the evening. I took one earlier last night and while not as tired today I'm feeling somewhat like I'm on a cloud. The problem I find is that when I feel tired and weak I start to worry excessively. Today I find myself worrying and a bit obsessive and, to be honest, that scares me! I'm supposed to go out to dinner with STBX and kids tonight and of course I'm worrying about what I'll be like, which makes it worse. So, my question to anyone whose been on these things is, how long before I feel more normal again? The pharmacist said a couple of days and I know my doctor said I'd feel flat for a few days when I first start taking these. Part of me just wants to ditch them and go back to what I was doing before. I don't like this feeling! Yuckkk. These are supposed to help me, arent' they?
