That is correct. It is generally more sleep inducing for someone so taking 250, you would take 100 in the morning and 150 at night. But taking 50 in the morning and 100 one day and 100 in the morning and nothing the next night and the third day taking 150 in the morning and 75 at night is going to lead to a load of troubles of inconsistent plasma levels
Forget the half life, the plasma level is what you're aiming for and that can only happen when you take a dose consistently like you say 50 and 100 or 100 and 100 every single day for some weeks.
It just takes time and that's the "sticking it out" part because changes do occur over time, OC thoughts become less troublesome over time although you don't notice it.
That's the one thing about SSRIs, is that you'll never know how you got along with out one unless you drop it like a log (please don't do that).
