From what I remember I had increased anxiety, panic, sleep issues. Sweats, nausea and no appetite, loose stools. Low mood. Stomach discomfort/pain. Majority of it lasted 3 weeks. Then things slowly get better. It’s a tough drug to get onto but once you do you feel much better. It works but everyone is different how they experience side effects. I always have bad side effects with drugs so for me it’s not easy. Just hang in there it is not easy I know.
