Hi Dan,
I am personally very med-sensitive so I started at 20 mg. I felt the difference within 3-4 days. Prescribing information, however, says 20 mg twice a day, and in the study they did on treatment resistant depression, it says they gave 40-160 mg daily. Now when I titrated I started having all types of side effects. Perhaps I did it too quickly(?).
As it's pretty fast acting, I wonder if you could try 20 mg for one week, then go to 40? I have no idea of your situation though; perhaps 40 would pose you no problems. That's the hard part. :)
