Ray- How long have you taken it? It takes a while for side effects to go away and after they do it is worth it, it helped me. And if after 2 weeks you still don't like it, then ween off.
> Man, if I could make a decision, I'd be scary!!! After I posted (thank you for the responses) - I decided maybe I should give it a try and see what happens after 2 weeks.

> Then I made the mistake of going through and reading more posts this morning. Now I'm TOTALLY freaked out again. So I think I'm going to stop. My doctor is out of town for 2 wks on vacation so I can't talk to him, but I will when he gets back.

> Anyway, where I am. I started the 37.5mg last Thursday for a week and this morning took my first 75mg. I sat there and looked at the damn thing and thought "Do I really want to take this?" but took it. Now I wish I hadn't. I'm wondering if I don't take one tomorrow if I'm going to screw myself up or is it too early to worry about it? Maybe I should try to get another sample pack of 37.5mg and go back down to that and wean from there. I'm so confused and so scared!!!

> Any thoughts??? (Besides I'm a neurotic mess??) I'd really appreciate the help!!!
