Yes 30 milligrams seems like a high starting dose. I think I started at 10 mg best wishes.
Hi, Scrubs!
I'm sure that your anxiety isn't helping matters but the side effects you describe are common when first starting treatment. They generally resolve within a week to 10 days or so and get better every day. You can ask your pharmacist to recommend OTC products that will help and are compatible with the medication.
I would let your doctor know right away what you're experiencing and ask about trying a low starting dose to help your system adjust more smoothly.
Hang in there... it sometimes starts off a little rough but at the same time many people start to feel some improvements in about the first two weeks.
Best regards and I think you'll be feeling better soon!
