Actually Phillipa my doctor says I need a lot more. She wants me on 10mg. I might go for 5mg. I just am so afraid of increasing the dose because I know from experience how terrifying it is to decrease the dose later on if you have to for some reason.
2.5mg has helped to quiet my tinnitus some. It helps me sleep. Appetite is a little better. It helps mood a little bit but not nearly enough. It is only good for anxiety from 2 hours to 8 hours after I take it.
When I took st johns wort with it and experienced a 300% increase in zyprexa blood levels (though I didn't know that at the time), I did have a profoundly improved mood with total calm and peace and motivation. Looking back I'm wondering if it was more the sjw doing that or the high zyprexa dose. Considering how powerful zyprexa is, I wonder if sjw really had anything to do with it at all other than raising zyprexa blood levels.
So to answer your question, no it is not enough, it works a little bit, but I either need more or something else to go with it.
> Other than that is it working and you don't need as much. Love Phillipa
