Hi Nathan I'm exactly the same I'm on 10 mg ciltlopram and day 8 of taking it I feel the same mornings are bad for me I wake up shaking feeling sick just really down then come afternoon say 4pm I start to feel normal and feel good and positive then go to bed and it all starts again my doctors says it's all normal side effects to the tablets and they can take up to a mth to feel full benefits 😞 My husband has had to take time off work to look after our 18mth old as I just can't at the moment because of how I feel .

I was doing the same I was on 10mg for a week the side affects where awful of had to have someone around me as much as I could as I was scared I was going to die or somthing horrible feeling but I had to increase my dosage as it wasent working at all and awh I feel for you there as I have my daughter once a week and starting this medication I couldn't look after her to my full potential was heart breaking still not 100% yet just hate this up and down feeling and I'm exactly the same the mornings are so crazy then when the evening comes I'm fine it's weird

Sounds like we are totally going through the same thing it's horrible not to be able to do day to day things my hubby only went to the shop I had a tottal melt down thinking I was going to die the thoughts running though my mind just sent me in to a panic doctor did say he'd put me up to20mg next week when I see him So I'm guessing that will mess me up again but I feel your pain with not been able to look after your daughter I feel so bad that I can't do the simple things with my baby I'm the one who cares for him full time at at this point in time I just can't 😢 But to put a positive spin on things Iv read great things about ciltlopram once it gets in to your system and starts working it's meant to be great fingers crossed for us x

Most definitely and you should be okay going onto 20mg as there already in your system I was on them for 2 years was fine tried coming off them last month and had a melt down it was horrible

Thanks for that made me feel a bit better about moving up to 20mg and aww sorry to here that so did you reduce your dosage or just come off them altogether? You back on them ? Xx
