I am not on this for bipolar but for severe nail biting. And I do have a lot of generalized anxiety, but I really don't think the 2 issues are related. The nail biting is more like OCD or grooming
I take the lowest dose-0.5 mg. It's been 2 weeks. 5 days ago a massage therapist told me the lymph nodes behind my knees were swollen. Then yesterday I started to feel it sometimes when I walked and turned--a tugging that caused some soreness. So I asked my husband to look and he said yes, especially the side I was feeling it on.
Could this be from the meds?
Also, how long do you need to take it before you notice if it's helping or not? Is it as long as SSRI's--3-6 weeks?
