took 10mg of Clomipramine about 2 hours ago and i am already feeling stupidly scared and odd!

i have a headache and just feel worse....

but this is no doubt because i am monitoring how i am feeling as i have taken the meds... :roll:

it is the first time i have taken tablets for about 4-5 months...

i need to take another one in about 6 hours and then a different one a few hours after that...

i know this is a silly thing to complain about...

but i am just so scared of meds....

i am so scared of the side effects!

i am scared to feel worse...

sorry....just had to vent... :roll:

any comments or thoughts about how i can help myself stop worrying about it would be appreciated....:)

hi shadowness

i found ads hard to get onto (although i'm on an ssri not a tricyclic) but i'm really glad i saw it through now. a thought that helped me a bit at the start was that at least i knew it was the med making me feel as i did and not my head by itself. the initial side effects do wear off. chlomipramine is prescribed for OCD as well so that might be of extra benefit.
