Advice & Tips: I tapered down over 6 or 8 weeks to finally stop taking this, and significantly altered my life at the same time - journalling, listening to relaxation tapes, cutting out caffeine, going to acupuncture once a week, gentle exercise and time in the garden, going to bed early.

Advice & Tips: The initial side effects can be quite strong and make you feel worse - you can have a racing heart, and not be able to sleep very well - it can make you jumpy. These go away quickly however - it took ten days for me. I am now much much more productive than I was when I was diagnosed - much more able to cope with life.
