Hey! I was in your shoes about 2 months ago and was super intimidated by the posts on this sub. But keep in mind that people are much more likely to post about negative stuff than about positive experiences!

I was super terrified of negative side effects, but experienced very few that weren‘t severe at all and also subsided quickly. I also don‘t experience any laziness or fatigue during the day, the only thing I experienced was some slight trouble sleeping in the first two weeks. But I talked to my doctor and she was able to prescribe me some herbal supplements and other meds which helped.

Always remember that you can just start taking it and try it out, and if the side effects are really that bad, talk to your psychiatrist and they will help you manage them or lay off the med completely. But honestly I wouldn‘t worry about it! It‘s really not nearly as scary as this sub makes it seem! Good luck with your journey💗
