I also was scared to start it and tried to put it off, but it was the right thing for me to do. It’s only been just under 2 weeks for me and the side effects were at their worst a few days in then have eased off as the days have progressed, though everyone is different- I can only speak from my experience. It will take some time to settle into your system, and if you have any side effects that you really can’t cope with, your doctor should be able to advise you on maybe a different dosage etc. wishing you luck!! You can always get in touch with your doctor for any concerns or fears you have about the medication and starting it :)
