    Juxy, every time I went up on dosage, the side effects started again. I am at 5 months on 20 mg and it’s anly been in the last few days that the side effects have let up.

    I tried to go up to 40mg too but i couldnt do it. If you are at 2 weeks I would say hold on for now as surely the worst of it is behind you.
