No nausea in my case. When you say 15 mg did you take that at once> Starting doses are usually 5 mg, and they recommend slowly increasing by 5 mg every few days. I don't think you can take it on and off, though - it doesn't work like that - in fact it can cause more side effects, including more anxiety, at first until the brain adapts.
My mistake, I meant 10mg at once ( 15mg at once would send me to bed the whole day..). Yes I started by small increments of 5mg , spread thru the day for a total of 20 to 30mg per day after a week or so. I stuck with it every day for a month, hoping that I would adapt and the nausea/dizziness would subside, but it never did, and it was just really unbearable after a while. I would need to lie down after every dose for almost an hour, and even then I would be constantly nauseaous for the rest of the day, then become very sleepy after.
It's a shame , because when it worked, the anxiolytic effect was one of the best I felt, very clean, no mood alteration in my case ( no euphoria or else ) or complete numbing of emotions like SSRIs.
After I gave up on it, I kept taking 5mg here and there occasionaly thru the day and despite the fact that it's not supposed to work on a take-as-needed basis like benzos, in fact it did work at times, in a sort of random fashion. Even when I was taking it regularly, the anxiolytic effects would appear randomly as well, some day nothing at all , other days I would feel a relief for a few hours, then nothing, etc.. Overall it was just very unpredictible.
It's really amazing how wildly different can be the side-effects, terrible nausea for me , and none for you.
As for the libido, it made me very horny for the starting week or so, then things went back to normal.
