Hi lostforwards.
I'm sorry, I can't remember, have you mentioned all of your problems to your psychiatrist/ doctor?
What I used to do is not only tell my psychiatrist my side effects/ problems, but I handed him a list, so that he had something tangible to refer to. My assumption was that when I started talking about more than one or two side effects/ problems, much of what I was saying got lost because it was too much to think about a once. He would read the list that I gave him and was able to address all of my concerns. Having a list also enabled me to think about important details in advance, so that nothing got accidentally left out. As we talked, I'd go over my own list to see if anything was not responded to/ not covered.
I've also gotten on my computer and googled around to find out info that has been helpful to me. There are many studies and also personal stories out there.
I'm sorry about what you are going thru and I'm also very concerned. I'd like to hear from you again. Take care.
Geisha Girl

Thanks GG. I read your post earlier. I don't really know what to say. I have tried writing stuff down. My doctors have failed to provide me with adequate explanations about what's wrong with me. They say it isn't any long term side-effect, but it's been almost 3 months now, and my left arm isn't swinging. Besides that there's still all the other symptoms - some of them too much like long term side-effects for comfort. The only treatment I've been offered are anxiolytics, despite my lack of arm swing in my left side being very obvious. Needless to say anxiolytics do absolutely nothing.
I searched google too. I've found few answers on the internet or people who've experienced the side-effects I have in the manner I have.
This is the end of the thread.
