> Also a big concern of mine is the speed in which hes upping it. He said go with 75mg for first week, then 150 for second, then 225 for third and fourth, when i meet him again. Is this normal? Should I be weary about this? Seems a little fast.

I've read/heard that changes are made around 4 day intervals to help the side-affect symptoms not be as severe. He must have his reasons for getting to the 225 mg dosage right away. My doctor was more conservative & changed my doses every 2 weeks & each time I went through the nausea and dizziness each time! I am now on 150 mg daily & it has been working fine now for 10 months. The past 3 or 4 months have been the best for me in quite awhile! Hang in there! :-)
