Ok, so far I've taken 4 tablets, started taking in the morning twice, then changed to the evening as I felt it would suit me better. First two days I started to get what I can only describe as a foggy, numb sort of head. ( I used to get this while on antidepressants years ago and stopped as a result) So I thought if I take it at night , it might not happen. The gap I had between the last morning I took it and the evening I started gave me a few hours of a 'clear head' and I felt more normal again ( whatever that is!)
Since taking at night I have woken with a horrible headache , last night I took paracetamol at 4am , headache still there at 8am. I do suffer from the occasional migraine, the doc asked me about what type I get when she prescribed Estelle, and thought I'd be OK.
I just wondered, is this a normal side effect and if so , will it go? I'm at the point where I now dread taking it, and was very tempted not to last night. The night before my heart rate was much faster too ( I had to get up to the toilet ) , which concerned me a little , but I could be just over reacting. I've also got itchy skin which I didn't have before. I will go back to the docs if it doesn't settle down, but wondered about others' experiences of side effects ?
I'd almost prefer my usual meno symptoms to this at the moment. My sleep is no better, so with the added horrible sluggish head I feel worse! Maybe I'm expecting too much too soon?
