How true about everyone's reponse....What I have noticed for myself is that if the pdoc gives me a "normal" dose to start with I usually only take half of that. He now agrees with me on this since only the patient can say what the drug does to his mind/body during the initial trials. By doing this I can minimize the SE's and potentially get a better response by not feeling worse d/t side effects.
Do you remember the dose you took? I took 30 mg total, 15 mg twice a day. My old drug book says 45 mg is the rec dose and 90 mg is the high end.
Many people on the drugs that I took years ago are taking much higher doses. I don't think that helps if you make yourself sick from the side effects. When will psychiatry listen to the patient, we aren't crazy all the time, only when the meds don't work for us...SG
