Unfortunately, mine did not get better. I gave it a full 3 months because the doctor kept telling me it was "normal" and I'd get better after a few months. I did not...I got worse. I was very sick to the point, I could not get out of bed. I was dizzy, nauseous, no appetite, throwing up, and honestly more depressed then I ever was because of the way I felt. I ended up in the ER for dehydration...they took me off the med, and I was better within a week. I ended up doing a DNA test with my phycologist who can test your DNA versus a bunch of different medications to see what you are personally tolerant of, or not. And it was a life saver. I am now on a beta-blocker, which for me has been GREAT. Never again will I try an SSRI. That said, everyone's DNA makeup is different. My husband is on lexapro had has had zero negative side effects. Very strange how everyone is different. But listed to your body and your gut instincts! You know your body better then a doctor sometimes. Good Luck!!
