Just wanted to second what scott said. The initial sedation can really knock you out.If you haven't already started, you might want to start on a friday night - give yourself a couple days where you can sleep if the sedation hits you like it hit me. I increased to 45 right away - I think I read in the tips section that one of the doctors said he started patients at 45mg right away - and maybe even that that was the standard practice in his country? Don't remember exactly... take a look in the tips. Good luck.

btw - currently taking 45mg - partial response. I augment w/dex.
