Hi Hannah
I know that some meds can develope side effects if used for a prolonged period - I used prozac years ago and had to come off it because of the shakes - I couldnt even put sugar in my tea without it shaking off the spoon!!!! Talk to your cpn and see what they reckon if it's stll going on. The new one I'm on now says that it may effect your periods if used for a long period of time and may cause an erect penis in men!!!!!!!! You are suppose to go straight to a&e if you develope that side effect!

I have a question about side effects too (sorry to hijack you thread). My new drug (risperdal) effected my sleep last night and I''ve looked at the side effects and one of them is sleeplessness - the last thing I need! I just wonderd if anyone knew if these initial side effects wore off after a few days?

Hi
Hannah have a look at my post uncontralable shaking. I had it so bad that i have now been put onto beta blockers to control it but when they are running out boy do i know about it.
It is so bad that even the doctors said it was severe but they didnt think it was my meds they thought it was my body coping with the anxiety levels.

Go to your gp and they will assess it mine was constant.
