Hi there,What dose are you on? If its 10 Mg thats the normal starting dose.

I would wait it out like others have suggested until your body adjusts but in the meantime maybe talk to your doctor about the side effects . Being confused about whats real and whats not is a little worrying , but if its really just in the first few moments after walking up I wouldnt worry.

I found this drug works well for me, a little too well because now i'm dreading stopping it . I ve found the effects of trying to come of it waaaaaay worse than starting it...i'm doing it super slow!

Let me know how you get on with it.

And take it the same time everyday. I take it before bed. You might want to try taking it in the morning to see if it makes a difference to your walking state.

Goodluck!
