Urgh!
Oh, god... I forgot about this... how you feel for the first week or so (especially the first day) of taking ADs - or how the particular ones I take affect me, anyway...
Was okay when I got up, and took my 2 little white pills before I went to work - and within about an hour of being there, I felt like shit. I felt sick - to the point that I couldn't chat to customers, because I could feel my throat tighten, and I knew if I tried to say anything I would retch... I wouldn't actually be sick, but that impulse was there. And I felt kind of heavy-headed... like my brain was made of porridge, and someone was stirring the pot. And I was a bit kind of "bleurgh"...
Made a cup of coffee about 11o'clock, and I felt a bit better after that... I guess the caffeine must have stimulated something that needed stimulated (steady!), and the feeling of nausea lessened.
Am feeling okay now, but then I've got the same thing to go through tomorrow morning... and every morning until some of whatever is lacking builds up in my brain (don't say "cells"! cheeky buggers!).
Right, time to go to bed now... after I've stuck something between my lips and had a good sook... *
*It's my inhaler, you dirty-minded lot!

I've had an AD that didn't agree with me Ally; my suggestion is...tell your Doctor! :) You shouldn't have to put up with one that makes you feel like shite. *** The WORST one I ever had, was Nortryptaline (sp?) - it made me angry 24/7, and my wife & I nearly separated! :( I had some old ADs that were much better for me; I took one of those, and I felt LOADS better in just half an hour! I guess I'm lucky I'm with someone who can prescribe me meds...
I was a bit better this morning, thanks... I made sure I had something to eat before I took my 2 tabs of Citalopram, and I didn't feel so nauseous after.
Hopefully it'll all settle down pretty quickly... it did when I first started taking them.
