Hi. I started taking 25mg Ami 6 days ago for tension headaches. My headaches have become less, but I am jittery and sometimes I feel like I am floating. I also am taking 150Mg Welbutrin to stop smoking. I am supposed to up my Ami to 50MG this week and I am nervous about the side effects.

    I have been taking just 10mg Ami for about three weeks now. It made me feel very groggy at first and as you say sort of not quite there but I am feeling much better now. I firstly took it at bedtime but a different medic suggested I take it around 6pm as it would then make me drowsy at bedtime and I would feel less groggy in the morning. This has helped me. A bit of trial and error I think. :-)

    Personally I would leave it at 25mg for a bit longer to see how it works for you. It did make me feel better after a few weeks but it seems quite a short space of time to up the dose. Xx

    Thanks guys. I have decided to leave it at 25 MG for now and see how I feel. I have also started taking it at 6pm and it helps to not be so groggy in the morning.
