Asking for Self, Female, 34 years old, gujranwala
hi I have been taking morcet for 5 days recommend by the psychiatrist. but I have been experiencing sleeplessness and restlessness. though I have stopped overthinking. sleeplessness, sad mood, feeling of uselessness is still there. fear of my mother in law (she's very domineering) is back. I can't even eat to my fill next to her. would someone suggest something please.
These medicines take atleast two to three weeks to improve ur symptoms
Did you have same problem before starting medications? What time do you take them? What dose. it should start with 5 mg once a day initially. it should usually be taken in the morning as it can cause some sleep problems. All antidepressants may worsen your anxiety initially. This usually lasts for few days and gets better afterward. it may take few weeks usually 3-6 weeks to get full effect of this medications.

yes sir its 10 mg daily. these unsettling feelings were worse before the medicine. mood swings are not that intense as it used to be. but the fear is still there when I face her. the pressure is still there.
I stay wide awake. i never experienced this intense sleeplessness before. this medicine is working but sleeplessness is really very upsetting sir. I request you to suggest something for it please.
