OMG i cannot believe how differnt i feel after having started on an SNRI.
I have just started three days ago and after having really bad sideeffects i halfed the dose. Yesterday they really kicked in and i felt some heavy dark cloud has lifted the first time in years.I could feel that i stopped worrying and i could smile witout effford. I could connect to people and make jokes wihtout worrying what others think of me.
Thing is i havent told my friends that im on SNRI's since im so embarrasssed. but since the drug causes pupil dilation i looked really high and just told them im on strong painkillers( well its not a ly since the drug does that too)
So since i have never taken any of such drugs before I wonder if its normal that the drug kicks in so quickly? I expected it takes weeks? I mean im so happy since i was suicidal on thursday and now i cannot understand how i could even think of it!!
Has anyone had similar expereinces with this drug? If it keeps making me feel good i wont stop it. I am so relieved! 🙂

Hey Beetle
I'm so glad for you! How nice to smile again!
I was the same! Damn near instant. It felt like I was in a warm fuzzy bubble and that alone made me want to smile.
Awesome!
cheers amamas
