Hello everyone ! I was just upped to 20 mg wed jan 28th and im getting headaches all sorts of times today when I woke up I had a headache face pressure and just not feeling myself. Also pupils are slightly uneven just had a full eye exam and she didn't even notice it . How long do side effects take to go away ? Anyone have similar side effects ?

IP,

You upped about two weeks ago...but how long total have you been taking this Rx?

Any uppage can cause side effects, but they are usually more mild and short lived than those of your initial start up.

Have you asked your prescribing doctor about how you are feeling?

I would imagine these are benign, and will fade, but a call to confirm this wouldn't hurt.;)

Use those coping skills, and hoping you feel better soon!

Ty and I am using them :) I think it may have something to do with the nicotine patch I started the same time as well so many drugs and I have a very low tolerance Advil pm knocks me out for weeks lol

Oh yeah! I am the same...pretty senstive to even OTC...

...so I am sure this is all ususal start up stuff, along with the other things like the patch....all coming together to make things seem 'off'

You are still in the early stages of your start up. A third to half way through depending...

Try to be patient with yourself and the process...and keep up the good work.

This will pass! :)

We are here to encourage you during this time, so keep posting!

Hi

It can take a couple of weeks for your body to adjust to a new dosage of medication and it is usual to experience some side effects and to see an increase in your anxiety but if these do not settle I would advice you to go back and speak with your doctor.
