Hi

Do you have a meds fear or are you waiting for them to take affect

Is this the first time you have taken one I am presuming it is

These meds can work very well , but they can take a few weeks before they work so I doubt if it will be making you have the knot feeling in your stomach your anxiety will be the cause of that

Try & cast out your mind that you have taken one , keep taking them as prescribed by your GP & in a couple of weeks you should start to feel a slight difference

If you are not happy go back & speak to your GP how you feel

Keep talking on here it does help , people do understand & as more people see your post that have taken these you will get some more advise

Let us no how you go on

Love

Hi

Well I would imagine if you have already been on them & they are in your system it shouldn't take long a few days & you hopefully will see a difference , I am not a doctor though just guessing

You could phone the chemist & ask to speak to the pharmacists they are trained & very efficient & usually helpful & would give you a more accurate idea if that would help give you peace of mind

Nothing bad will happen though , see how you feel over the next few days , our minds can play tricks on us with the anxiety but if you are really not happy then speak to your GP

Hi, when my medication was upped it only took about a week for me to feel better again, but all medication is different and takes different time to work... For me each day felt better than the last and when I stopped trying to force myself to feel better I did start to feel better.... I hope that makes sense

Another thing my councilor taught me was to allow myself time to mend, allow myself to relax, allow my medication to work and in time I will feel calmer. It's taken a while, and I'm nearly there!!

Really hope you feel better soon take care.
