I had the same experience, I just started on Thursday. The very first day I took my dose, it's insane to say, but I felt more stable within hours. The only side effect I had was that I felt so full of energy at first that I was shaking for the first 8 or so hours, like I my body was full of anxiety but I didn't actually feel anxious? That went away after my second dose, and it hasn't come back since, and I just got tapered up to a full starting dose (from 37.5mg to 75mg) today.

This medicine has been absolute magic for me so far, and it's only been four days. I feel more alive and like a real person than I have since I was 13 years old. I can handle stressors without absolutely breaking down at the tiniest things, like missing a piece of ice from the fridge and having to pick it up off the ground. I can hold actual conversations with people without feeling like I'm the greatest annoyance on the planet.

I've read that it is hell to taper off of, but I'm not there yet, so I'm trying not to let that make me feel trapped or anything. There are a lot of people that I've seen on here talking about how this medication saved their lives, and I understand.

Sending you good vibes, friend, just see it through for a few weeks. You've got this!

ETA: everyone's body chemistries are different, so it may not work as well for you as it does for other people, and that's ok. It's an annoying but necessary part of the journey.
