    I started on 25mg for 10 days then went up to 50mg. I must have been lucky cause I disn't really get any side effects with the increase. I'm still waiting for them to reach this peak that everyone talks about, but I am feeling better than I was though.

      Hi... I honestly don't think what I'm having now besides blurry vision and the dizziness, I don't think the rest of it are side effects I think it's still my anxiety so I think I definitely need a higher dose I used to take 50 milligrams but that was many years ago.. Thats awesome that you're feeling better!!!
