      My doc said I will go up prolly to 10 but wants me to stay at 5 for a few weeks. Yes I go up by 1/4 tab at a time. I started out at 2.5 for two weeks then then added about 1mg for a few days b4 I went to 5. The day I went to 5 I was high as a kite but felt amazing! Then the next day I felt blah but it got better eachdaybthere after. My side effects on the 2.5 were very tired head aches no energy and my anxiety was really bad for the first three days after starting but got better each day. Now after being on 5 for a little over a week I still feel like I don't wanna do anything and kinda tired but my anxiety is I think under control. I have had 4 days now where I feel normal! Sorry if this is all over the place but I'm tired and a little stressed over something with my son so my brain is preoccupied!

    It really sounds like you just have to push through the awfulness for a few weeks. Were you taking any anti anxiety meds during it? Do you have someone to take care of you?

      Yes but no one really knows how you feel unless they have experienced it.

      That's true, but i find it really helpful to have my 'safe' person around to look out for me. I feel for you Jacqueline ? its so tough getting on these meds. Whats your life situation like at the moment?
