    I'll start it on Tuesday.
    Stella, Duloxetine made me throw up 10 minutes afterwards and I couldn't get out of bed for 2 days. I never took another one.

    Citalapram was the worst for me, first time I took one I thought I was going to die.

    Yeh, and neither of those two scenarios would be a good look for my interviews on Monday.

    Can I be blunt? I hadn't realised you'd cut back the Venlafaxine, but your moods have seemed more extreme recently - could this be down to this? Look back over your posts and see if you think I might be right....
    I also know that you want a new job, but I really think that right now you need to concentrate on getting the medication right and that's not going to happen overnight. Maybe you need to prioritise?
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    Good luck with the change over.

    The best time to change medication is right away. There will always be an excuse for you not to do it. Your Job interviews this week (ggod luck on that) then if you get the job, starting it, there will always be something round the corner. I would tell people that you are changing medication so you can get help and support when needed.
    They look at me and think I'm cool, I'm purplefan at night I rule.

    I expected a more sympathetic response to be honest.

    Sorry lovely, is this directed at me?
    I know the horrible effects from Orlistat and I wouldn't take it if I knew I was going out - let alone on a bus with an interview and having IBS too....

    No, Suzi, I just think that the general theme is just to do it, even though taking Orlistat will make me need the loo, and taking Abilify could render me unable to drive, essentially destroying my chances are interview tomorrow.
    I think I'm being sensible waiting a couple more days and that's what I am going to do.

    That's a good idea Rose. I can see where you are coming from. I take abilify, but I've been on it for a while, but I can drive with it now.
