Sorry about that nausea. It's common if you start too high. I would think 0.25 mg would be OK, or even less than that--the depression studies used doses like 0.1 mg three times a day if I remember correctly, but it's hard to cut up the 2 mg tabs that small without crumbling. You can suspend 2 mg in a tiny amount of water measured out in something so you can draw out small amounts and use a dropper to squirt the liquid under the tongue. Remember to split the dose if you go higher than 1 mg a day since the biologic effects are shorter than the blood half-life. Let us know how you feel as you adjust it!
