I hope your husband can come around and show some understanding with this - you are taking positive steps to improve your life and DESERVE tons of support.

The physical symptoms are pretty yucky that first week, but they DO get better. I presume you are talking about the tight, constricted feeling that you get about 5 hours after taking the med, right?
That will go away and won't come back. It's just your brain getting lots of nice serotonin.

I started on 5mg/day and then jumped to 10mg/day after about a week. Jumping right into 10mg could be tough, if you've never taken this sort of med before.

Hang in there. You will feel better. I didn't start to feel the positive effects of Lex for a few weeks. Have faith and have a great weekend.
