Saturday night at around 7.30 pm. first dose 25mg.
2 hours later my derealization was terrible. My sight was hazy, I was sweating and very scared. To exclude the possibility of a serotonin syndrome I called an ambulance. At hospital It was clear to me that it was just an anxiety response (I took 4 Valium at 9.30pm when it happened) - I was calm and there was not as many physical symptoms. I left the hospital by myself.
Last night I took 25mg. No probs!! Tonight I up it to 50mg.
Good news, the OCD has become slightly worse since I began it. Two notable OCD authorities (one being Michael Jenike MD) have noted this is uasually always a good indicator for excellant respones.
It hasn't really helped derealization/phobic anxiety yet. Also waiting for it's AD response.
But, then again, I've only been on it 2 days!!
