Hey chick, from experience going on the meds sucks for about 2 weeks then it does settle, i felt woozy, cotton mouthed, dizzy if i had to get up at night to the kids, headachy, sleepy as heck (like i'd been hit by a bus) but it gets better, it seriously does. I didn't think i was really that bad ever until ihit the serious downward spiral which is when i got put on the meds, and beleive me, I was missing out on life before then, I was so grumpy angry and snappy and touchy all the time before that i felt so sad that mike and the kids had to put up with that.
Even going back to the doctor after 2 weeks, mike openly told him i was such a different person. I have been on them for nearly 2 years now and am very very stable on them, getting to a place where i am happy with everything , happy with how things are, settled in my life, and considering coming off them, just finding the right time and trying to sort hormonal stuff first.
I hope you feel better soon, hang in there, it does get easier, maybe only marginally at first, but yeah soon you realise how different you feel once the initial crap wears off (that's just your body getting used to the meds).
The first step is to realise the problem and get help and that's what you've done.
Hugs.
