K,
Thanks for the advice. So, I was feeling so bad yesterday and I'm sick of feeling bad that I decided to go straight to 20 mg. Also, I don't have the patience for a failed treatment. Anyway, I took the 20 mg before I went to bed and about 2 or 3 hours later I woke up and felt like all my brain cells were firing and all my muscles were aching. I then popped some Ativan and it went away. Today, actually has been fine with no weird attacks and I felt better today emotionally than I have in a long, long time.Should I expect more of the same from last night? Do these weird attacks happen right after you take the meds, or do they happen randomly? I'm actually feeling sort of optimistic that last night was a one time thing and that maybe I'll finally get relief from this depression, obsessive thoughts, anxiety, etc. Either way, I'll take those nightly attacks if I can start to feel better.
Thanks,
C
