Hi Michelle,
I think I'm in a similar situation to yours, todays my 8th day on medication. I am also feeling alert and awake but also feel very hyperactive and restless, I can't seem to be able to be still and calm. I feel heaps better than what I was feeling like before the medication but I'm not use to it yet so I've been frantically cleaning and doing things I wouldn't normally be bothered doing.
I saw my psychiatrist yesterday and he said that it will take a few weeks for my body to get use to it as it is taking something new onboard and I am very sensitive to changes within my own body so give it time to have full effects. He seems to think that my body will get use to it?!?
What medication have you started taking?
I am taking Effexor-XR 75mg.
Angela :)
