I was on fluoxetine in 2005/6ish i think (i have a terrile memory) and amyltriptaline after a couple of months on that because even if it was working i was being sick and very anxious. amitriptaline i came off about 2006 i think, because it was helping but i felt so tired i couldnt function so i took myself off it gradually. I changed docs just after that, since i moved house, and things were okish, so i left it, but at easter I started going down hill fast, so i dragged myself along to my doc, and she suggested trazodone since amyltriptaline had helped, but again, it was just too tiring, and I noticed about 4 weeks ago i started feeling really down again, so i went back and was suggested this stuff. I was told to not take the trazodone that night, take the new stuff in the morning, but i left it a day because I forgot, so I took my first med sunday morning, 2nd one this morning.
Im really hoping the side effects clear up soon, the shaking ist quite as bad, but the hot/cold thing is starting to feel like I have flu! every now and then i check my temp but i dont seem to have a feever, so not worried. tbh where its autumn, its kinda hot one minute cold the next anyway with thick coats, cold outside, warm heating etc. im sure things will settle down
