Hi Amy,
I made it one day only at 25 mg. and by the evening I started getting panicky feelings. I just could not bear the thought of taking it another day. My jaws felt tense, almost like I wanted to grind my teeth, but not quite and I started salivating. I fell asleep immediately after work and work up with my heart beating fast due to anxiety. I did get a hold of myself, but it was difficult. When I start wanting to head for the ER, I know it its pretty dicey that I will continue on the med.
