I have been put on Cipralex 10 mg starting by 5 mg for first 4 days. Its been one and half week I am taking it. Initially it was very calming and it seems to have stopped the constant dejected feeling. The feeling of having done something severely wrong, present since ages was gone. It had so much become a part of me, that I was kinda missing myself at times in the new situation. But from last few days I m feeling so anxious that that I cant concentrate. I have an interview on day after tomorrow and I skipped second half today to prepare for it. And ended up not doin anything.
