hey ed -
I just wanted to thank you for all your advice. Are you a pharmacy student, or just a med hobbyist?
I saw my psychiatrist today and reported the muscle-twitching issue, but she didn't regard it as anything to be concerned about. She said I could raise the dose further - to 125 or 150mg - but I emphasized my concern about the sleep disturbances I was having, and she said that in that case, I should hang around at 100mg and see how I proceed. The jerks aren't as bad at this stage, and I generally feel adequately rested when I wake up, but there are black circles under my eyes each morning, so I know something's up . .
Anyway, I found 25-75mg was helping me get to sleep, but 100mg isn't, so I've been thinking about splitting up the dose. Do you have any advice on TCA dosing? Would 50mg in the morning and 50mg at night be standard practice?
