3 weeks into taking ssris

[chrisjrtcb]

I'm still waking up sick every morning and feeling like crap throughout the day. Shouldn't I be feeling better by now?

[needtogetwell]

Which SSRI are you taking? And what time do you take them?

[chrisjrtcb]

I was taking Prozac 20mg every morning for the last 18 days. Then my psychiatrist thought I should try 20mg Paxil before bed. He thought it might help with the vomiting/nausea. I've taken the Paxil the last 2 nights and I'm feeling just as bad. I'm beginning to think my body just doesn't respond well to ssris.

[chrisjrtcb]

Has anyone had this hard of a time with nausea/vomiting after 3 weeks on ssri's?

Usually takes a month or so. Did you feel any kind of mood boost the first week or 2?

I'm on day 5 changing from esipram to zoloft and the only way I can explain it is my brain feels like its in a box???

[chrisjrtcb]

I definitely feel better but the daily nausea and vomiting is hard to take. I haven't been able to eat breakfast in weeks.

I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling well. I've been on celexa, never had any negative side effects from it. Maybe your body is still trying to adjust.

I take 50mg of zoloft .. It will be two full weeks on Friday ... The first week was really hard .. Now it's starting to get better ... I take it two hours before bed which seems to help instead of the morning

I am on day 6 of Celexa and have the horrible nausea also..I am taking a very low dose in liquid form..Maybe have your doc reduce your dose and go up slowly..It has been proven not everyone needs what they call the 'theraputic dose'..So people do really well on 5mg where someone else needs 40...I am med sensitive so I have to stay very low..hope you feel better..

Yea I've had nausea and tiredness on zoloft, when the added wellbutren... I felt like It amplified all these effects and panic attack. I thank every day to buspar so far two weeks in still feel like crap. But It will pass.

It takes any SSRI at least 4 weeks to build up in your system. Part of the nausea could be related to your depression or anxiety depending on what your condition is . Don't give up you will feel better again.
