I had severe depression this spring. I'd never been treated for any psych disorder before. I spent 1 week on 30 mg, 4 weeks on 60 mg and have been on 90 mg for about 8? weeks now. I also have been taking 25 mg of seroquel to help me sleep at night.
Side effects were noticeable, but tolerable- including some increased sweating, a little dizziness and loopiness especially in the am. some very mild nausea and tummyache. When I went to 90 mg, I was quite fatigued, and it wasn't getting better after 3 weeks, so I added provigil 200 mg in the am.
AD response was moderate at 60 mg and noticeably better at 90 mg. With the addition of provigil, I feel really good. I have noticed that my anxiety is much better too. I was terrified to ride my bike around town for a while, and to drive a car. I haven't had any problems with that in a while. My depression symptoms are much resolved.
hope this helps, best of luck to you.
