It is your body starting to get used to them. When you get used to them things will be soooo much better! Chin up

Yes, for me it took 2 weeks. I came from another med that was not helping anymore and also a very stressful situation. So I experienced a lot of anxiety and suicidal thoughts. Thankfully I have a great support system and also I was able to look for info about the meds and understand what I was going through.

I refuse the medication because I literally can’t allow it to get worse before it gets better which is what you can expect with most meds. I like to cope without medicine.
