there are lots of side effects the first week. For me it was nausea/vomiting, probably headaches I cant really remember it wasn't a fun time. But don't get discouraged they go away and it is so worth it. Everyones different though, like when I tried prozac the symptoms never went away it just wasn't for me.

Nausea and diarrhea were the biggest for me 😥 it’ll take a while for things to sort themselves out, but you’ve got this! Good luck!

you may want to speak with your doctor regarding decreasing your dose.

For me I get hot and sweaty at night. Apparently serotonin plays a role in terms of regulating your body temperature at night. I think your levels are supposed to drop around that time so taking them artificially can result in that side effect.
