Re: Okay I’m terrified...

Give it time - a lot of people's side effects improve for up to 6 months. What dosage were you taking and in how many pills a day etc? How many days since you quit? 15mg taken at night. It’ll be a week tomorrow since I quit. Not much improvement with the sexual stuff, but I’m starting to feel less ...
