I never ben on any other medication its the only medicine I ever tried and now am back on it after 3 months of being off it
am now wondering is this gonna work as it had before now am on my second week on 75mg
I feel unstable one day good and next bad am really so so worried and afraid if this not gonna work as before
I think its the only medicine work perfectly for me I believe on it it had cured me last couple years
and I believe if it will work again I will be on it for the rest of my life without hesitating
I need your experience
do you think if I don't feel better for next weeks I should increase the dose?

one bad side effect am experiencing for the first time now can't sleep
I sleep couple of days at beginning smoothly and in the past 3 days couldn't fall a sleep deeply
is this normal and how long this gonna stay until I get back to sleep as before

@drtrust84 What you are describing is uncomfortable. If I knew of a way to help make things easier I would as this is a battle. I know keeping busy worked the best for me. Distraction has helped many and there is a thread about things that can help with difficult times. Help from someone knowing where please.
Many here are helpful in so many ways. Try not to denigrate yourself for being in a hard place. We are here.
