Thank you ladies for your replies.
I took 10mgs this morning and feel like rubbish. My anxiety is through the roof and I've got a headache and nausea. Think I may take 5 mgs tomorrow and ease myself onto 10 mgs.
Pants46 yes let's do this together,I could do with the support as I'm sure you can😀have you taken your first tablet yet?
Jodieh that's good to hear that it's helped you lots,I'm hoping for the same results and I know it's not a miracle cure for menopause but I'm hoping it will make things a bit easier😀 I would struggle with 20mgs though,I feel bad enough just taking 10mgs😬
Jules53 I was offered venlafaxine but as I had previously been on citalopram thought I might try it again. The nurse said venlafaxine is good for reducing hot flushes. I'm not suffering too badly with these at the moment,getting one or two at night. My main symptoms are anxiety,insomnia,headaches and generally feeling low alit of the time.
Thank you all for your kind words and advice,it's so comforting knowing I'm not alone x
