hi, if i were you, i'd start out with 1/4 or a half of a pill and see how it's going to affect you. don't take it when you're going to school or work until you know how it's going to work on you. i'm VERY sensitive to meds and started out at a half and it made me very nauseous, jittery and unable to sleep, not to mention diarrhea too. so i cut it back to 1/4 and even though i felt slight nausea and stomach discomfort, the jitteriness went away and within a few days i started noticing some positive effects of the medicine. my anger was gone as was alot of my anxiety not to mention feeling brighter. i am now taking 1/2 pill (5 mg) and it seems to be agreeing with me, though the day i jumped to 5 was rough. i was again sick to my stomach and very light-headed with tons of brain fog. i'm sticking with the 5 mgs for now until i see my Dr. and see what she says. i AM feeling better and that is what counts. good luck.

p.s. my symptoms were always worse right before my period too but i have been diagnosed with general anxiety disorder and depression.
