This is the second week-long slump that I have experienced since beginning to respond to treatment in late December. In addition, my mood has been variable during the day. I have experienced significant episodic dips that can last for 3 - 6 hours and then disappear. It has been a bumpy ride.

The dosages currently used for PTSD are between 12 - 15 mg. Within 48 hours of my doubling the doses, I was amazingly improved. It has been 25 years since I felt this well. I think this shall be the last of the treatment adjustments necessary for me to achieve remission.
