Hi Scribbler -
I'm going on four months of 10 Lex. I, too, was overwhelmed with the quick effect the Lex had in my system with my very first dose. I just didn't feel quite right. I felt dizzy, nauseas, light-headed, etc. I was pleasantly surprised by day two - that the side effects decreased significantly.
As you read past posts, you will likely see that what you're experiencing has happened to someone else throughout various course of treatement. Unfortunately, since we are all different, our bodies react differently to these meds. If you seem to have extreme side effects, you might want to contact your doctor immediately for his or her take. Otherwise, you will have the support of this board behind you as you struggle. Some days are good - some are not so good. That's what we're all here to share with one another.
Keep us posted Scribbler. Write daily if you feel the need to. We'll be there right along side of you.
Best of luck.
Patty
