> I've heard that sometimes taking a dose of a medication that is too low will give you side-effects, but no effects. Of course the problem here is that "too low" is totally different for everyone. I just wanted to throw that out there to say that you shouldn't be afraid to go to higher dose before giving up on Lex. Perhaps other people have some experiences with this "too low" issue. I don't know much abt it personally, as I have the opposite prob. I usually need huge doses to get an effect--I'm on 40mg of Lex in addition to other stuff.
