Chris,

The pdoc started me at a dose of 2.5mg. Do you know if that's a common starting dose? Do you have any thoughts as to whether he will want to increase it if it does work, or if it doesn't? I must admit that already feeling a little calmer. I'm cautiously optimistic....

Thanks for the feedback,
Greg

The only reason for these attempts to stop is that there are some concerns about long term use. I don't have any of the symptoms associiated with problems so I stay on it. The only thing I did find was the weight gain. I am now losing it slowly but it came on very quickly.
