i did have side effects, being sick! but only in the mornings and it soon wore off. i used to like a drtink too  but drinkong only makes the palps and anxiety worse so i dont drink anything at all, thats the best thing to do. you can still go out but just stick to the soft drinks, i wont drink anything fizzy either!
i also have a phobia about the heart! we are s alike!!!!!

hi
yes i was taking it for about two years for postnatal depression and anxiety, when i started to feel better i slowly withdrew from it, i had been off it for about 6 months before the anxiety came back and put straight back on the ame medication. It worked really well for me last ime. It ook a few weeks to kick in but it was great after that. But this time it is taking a lot longer and im sure ive read people saying that once youve took it its never the same second time. just hope someone pops up with an answer. Ive got  a medication check upon the 3rd december o ill chat to the doctor about it then
how is it working for you?
