> you really haven't given the drug long enough to work. I've been on it for several months now and at first it didn't seem to much of anything. Now if I miss a day, I really notice it. 100mg might work if you are a very large person or for some reason don't absorb the drug very well,. I don't know.. I tried raising it for a few days and got very shaky hands. But that might go away after a while. My response at 50 mg is good but not great.


unfortunately i know. my T said that most of the people she knew on it didn't really "level off" till about 6 weeks, and still never felt as great as they did the first few days.
but my symptoms were getting severe and we had to do something in the mean time.
so when i called my pdoc and asked him what we should do (i told him i didn't want to give up on the drug yet) he told me to up the dosage.

like you my response was good, not great. but then i started going down hill again.
and i didn't want to wait until i was ready for the hospital before i called.

i just sometimes feel like i'm going to go through life feeling....eh.
or like i always want curl up and hide from the world, which is where i'm at now.
how i just want to curl up in someone's arms and stay in that warmth and protection forever.
