It varies wildly but it is a good antidepressant for the right person (even being an AED).
Some of these things as mentioned before may pass. Some people may just be irritable on it eventually and will have to discontinue, but at 100 I would wait.
I know it is a long haul -- it has to be, because SJS (the big rash) is serious and that is why it is increased slowly (even for epileptics I would imagine).
It took a long time for me to get to 250, I'm not sure if it is contributing 10%, 20%, who knows, but it is probably doing something to features of depression. I dont have any rash. Once you get to about 200 the titration can increase a bit faster because it is fairly (not completely) determined that the patient is not susceptible to the serious problem.
