> I'm glad you're not affected taste wise. Good deal! How long have you been on it now? Has it helped your headaches? That's why I've been put on it. I have tension, stress, migraine and pms headaches. I'm also experiencing the tingling I've read about, in some of my extremities, mostly fingers but even lips. It seems to occur most often in the morning. And I'm only at 50mg. 1 week at 25mg and haven't even hit 3 weeks at 50mg. I guess I'm freaking from the side affects and wondering should I barrel through. After having scanned the posts it could be 3 months before it's benefits begin. And even longer if my GP decides to up it since I'll then have to contend with adjustments again. Meanwhile the headaches could fell an elephant.

Blessings to you,
Hang in there and go slowly. If you do not give up the side effects will subside and should go away in a couple of months. Maria Warren
