28 Oct 2011 Gaminal has been ok for me and seems to work better than the ssri's I have tried. I am not sure how effective they have been for me as I am going through lots of changes and uncertainty and so it is hard to judge. I will continue on it for the forseeable future although I do not like the flushes, getting hot all of a sudden and rapid herat beat that it gives. I am also think that the side effects are worse when I am due my period especially the flushing.

13 Apr 2011 im going though a real bad patch at the moment, so distressing, not been like this for 3 years and it just hit me like a sledge hammer, so ill with anxiety, im finding it hard to concentrate, this happend last week i couldnt eat, sit, lay, i was pacing up and down, couldnt relax at all, ive now been on lof...epramine for 11 days and diazapam and beatablocker till the lofepramine starts working, but my anxiety is still up and down at the moment. Ive been taking lofepramine for 2 weeks now and the last 3 nights sleep as been awfull, i go to bed and fall a sleep well but then wake 2hours later and can not get back to sleep. I take one 70mg in morning and one 70mg before bed, . should i take both in the morning? will this help my sleep?
