I titrated up 25 mgs per week and felt a difference within a few days. I was taking it with 40 mgs of Celexa to control self-destructive behavior and hopefully as a way to reduce the Cx dose. Initially I felt motivated and an absense of anxiety and paranoia that I don't remember experiencing since my youth. The need to self-medicate was gone.
However, I'm finding I lose the lion's share of this benefit 1-2 weeks after moving up to a particular dose. I've moved down to 20 mgs Celexa and that takes some time to normalize.
What are your initial symptoms and what effect are you looking to achieve.
Also, does anyone know the deal with this drug regarding poop-out? Will I be chasing its effectiveness up to 500 mgs, or should I level out at some point. At 200 mgs now.
Cheers,
Craig
