> Welcome to Babble, I hope you like it here.Thanks for the follow up i'm finding a lot of helpful information. this is so scary- i'm getting married in August and i'm in the happiest time of my life- so i'm managing emotionally- my fiance is incredibly supportive- but the physical symptoms are just awful. i can't understand why my doctor didn't tell me this to begin with. i think the worst part is my inability to sleep at night and my night sweats- i feel like i'm baking in an oven. do you know when i can expect some relief? i'm just beginning the 37.5 and i have to say, i'm scared to come off totally because 37.5 is still better than none at all. i just feel like the world is spinning around me and i'm not quite going fast enough- if that makes any sense at all.
