If you are having these side effects you should call your doc ASAP . This is not a drug you should just stop, you may need to taper off depending on how long you have been on it . I have read several articles that say it is really hard to get off of, the withdrawal can be tough so talk to your doc ASAP.

it depends on what does you re on. always take it in morning, try with low does first then increase the dose slowly. so one week on 30 then, you can increase the does slowly. increase it slowly and taper it down slowly, drink enough water during the day.

it did help me with my fibro, however, I'm aware of the symptoms of the withdrawal, so when u decide to stop it, you should arrange that with your Dr to taper down very slowly and i ve also heard that the best way to come of is switch to Fluoxetine for 2 weeks then stop it. I have not tried that yet, but it could be the trick.

best of luck.

healthunlocked.com/fibromya..., hello there just reading your post, I would speak to your doctor, have you been on this very long ? it might settle if it is a new med but for a piece of mind contact your doctor, I cannot remember any side effects when I started , it has helped me enormously with anxiety although weight gain but felt so much more postive since I have been taking this, I do read below side effect are not pleasant if you want to come off, but for now it has been successful for me personally. Hope you get some answers.
