I had headaches at the start of them too Meg, they wear off after a couple of weeks. I was on them for about 8 years and tolerated them well, could even have a drink or two on them. xx

Agree with others on this,. my does is low at 10 mg just helping to take the edge of things.

Please give them a least a months trial, they really do work and have been of great benefit to me. You may feel a little unwell to begin with but this does wear off.

Hi wanted to try and manage without this drug I am a carer for my husband who as copd. Went to the dr he asked me to try Phenagon which is for hay fever and allergys the difference it made was amazing I take two a hour before bedtime it sends me to sleep and I am more relaxed. Hope this helps some of you out there that feel they are not copingx

I was on them for ages but had no help from them I have been put on setraline much much better. And you can get headaches maybe your not suited for them they all work differently on different people. They say to give it a few weeks but if its too much for you go back to your gp
