I cannot even imagine what 15 mg straight would feel. I started at 5mg, and even that gave me side effects. I went down to 2.5, i a few days it was better.
I am not sure why this medication is not titrated up slower--it is quite powerful, I noted that given a week the side effects diappeared. I would theorize that someone if titrated slowly would have much less side effects. This medication is also sold at 2mg tablets--there must be a reason for such a small dose! It measn even 2mg can help. So why would someone immediately give 15mg??
