My side effects started happening probably early in the year. They increased my dose at the end of the year last year and to be honest, I was not taking my medicine like I was supposed to - I kept forgetting to take it. So I feel like my blood work showed up low falsely. I have been having anxiety and depression and mood swings real bad for about 2 weeks - some before, but I blew it off on PMS. I cannot stand to be in my own skin!! I did talk my dr into lowering me back down to my original dose - does anyone think that will help?? It has got to - I am driving everyone in my family crazy, including myself.
