hi roslynn,

I had similar thing happen every time I increased the dose. Went away after a few days. The worst was the dizziness.

I don't know what your plans are as you continue to go up to 100mg, but I would recommend doing 75mg for a week or two before you go to 100 which I think can minimize these unwanted effects. I actually did this for one week (even though doc said oh once you get to 50 you can just double it everytime you go up...) I still felt crappy for a couple days when I got to 100. I also did 150 for a week before going to 200. I didn't have any problems at all when I got to 200 as far as the dizziness/spaciness. good luck

I had to sleep later and it was very hard to lift my head off the pillow when I finally got up. All day I have been very dopey/forgetful.
