Might quit after 1 dose
So I took my first pill last night around 6pm. Started with 37.5mg. Went to sleep at 930pm no problem. Noticed I woke up a few times more than normal and was starting to have really racing thoughts. Finally came downstairs to the couch around 2am and tried to watch some tv to calm myself down and distract me. I was also getting hot flashes, but not really sweating.
I can deal with side effects for a few weeks. Bring on hot flashes, headaches, insomnia, whatever. But the racing thoughts really terrified me. I felt really out of control and panicky in a way I haven't felt since I had major panic disorders as a teenager more than 15 years ago. I dont really know how to describe it other than I felt completely out of control. Its now 5am and I did get some sleep and feel "normal" now but I don't know if I can continue like that. I was so hopeful for this drug.
