It's been about a month now and the only side effects left are a little tiredness and lazyness but the positives far outway the negatives. I have all-but stopped my excessive worry about negative events from my past, all-but stopped worrying about what people think of me, I just feel really calm about my life, past and present.
I'm not cured, I still have unwanted/intrusive thoughts and my social anxiety still kicks in sometimes I'm just not spending anywhere near as much time beating myself up inside because I have problems. This medication so far is working very,very well for me.It seems to have given me a level of calmness that was missing before and I feel like I am better equiped to deal with life in general. I'm finding it easier to generate positive thoughts in my mind. This is coming from someone who has resisted medication for years.Anyway past midnight here in Oz and I need a rest after work tonight ,I just wanted to share my positive experience so far with this SSRI. To all those suffering out there with Mental problems , take care.
Anthony.
