Honestly, no. I have felt no "pep" at all. The only discernable side effect has been an exacerbation of my IC symptoms. And perhaps a clearer head/more awake in the morning (and morning comes very early!) I can't sleep without xanax, and have no appetite, but that was the same before (I had been using remeron - loved it and miss it).

I will try to give it a chance. The past few days have had a bit of the weird heart racing anxiety -similar to what I experienced the first few days on Lexapro. Could this be a sign it is "kicking in?"

I really am hoping for some positive effect on my chronic pain and headaches, and for that it could be the higher dose is going to be required anyway. But I do want to give the 6mg a chance. Even if I can just get some improvement in energy and motivation I may be better able to deal with the pain...
