Hi Jesssmom,
My point is that I spent two years trying lots of different drugs, sometimes for long periods of time with no real benefit. One of the drugs I tried during that time was 20mg of Seroxat for a month which just caused a lot of anxiety.
After the two years the psychiatrist I was seeing at the time decided to try me on 60mg of Seroxat straight away and for some reason (and I wish I knew why) I had less anxiety and it started to work after a week. I'm not sure if some of the drugs I'd taken prior to the Seroxat had done something to my brain to make me respond.
But I guess my point is that I usually get side effects anyway (mental side affects) regardless of the dose so I might as well start high.
I'd happily live with the diarreah (any physical side effects) I just can't stand the awful apathy/agitation that I seem to get when a drug is not working properly.
