I presume you're starting at a dose of 37.5mg?? I took mine at night, partly because my anxiety seemed worse in the mornings than during other times of the day. Maybe my doctor was sparing me the worst of the side effects that way... just something to consider.
I experienced dry mouth (and eyeballs), some trembling, and upset tummy too. Nausea I think I remember was not good.
For me it took about 4 weeks for the initial side effects to subside. On the other hand, I did start feeling relief from my depression and anxiety, which is what encouraged me to hang in there, as did the support I received here.
Hope you feel better soon!!
