Hi Guys

I increased my dose from 50mg to 100mg on Friday

This morning I'm feeling really low don't want to go to work :-( and feel spaced out not myself. Do I ride it out or drop back down to 50mg? I've worrying as I've read it takes a while to build up in your system. Maybe 100mg is to much for me.
