> Would you mind telling me what dose you started at and any side effects you have experienced?

no problem
25 mg once daily for 10 days
50 mg once daily for 7 days (I'm in the middle of that)
100mg once daily for 7 days
150mg once daily for 7 days.... then reassess

side effects?

I'm sleeping better almost immediately.

perhaps diminished appetite (not a bad thing given that I'm carrying around seroquel blubber and bridesmaid season is coming up...)

headache, possibly, but that was going on since I quit cymbalta altogether about 4 weeks ago. now it's starting to get better

increased forgiveness

thirstiness/dry mouth

blurry vision when my dose increases, then it gets better. perhaps even some slight double vision one day.

my nailpolish is chipping faster than usual. that's about it.

> Thanks, Lurpsie. I hope things just continue getting better for you and that the Lamictal proves to be your silver bullet.
