> 5mg is basically nothing and probably even less if its generic.
5mg every other day, effectively 2.5 per day, had been somewhat effective for me last year on two occassions. The first time I increased to 5 mg every day and then I started to feel flat. Now taking 5 mg every other day feels very weak. I'm not getting any sexual dysfunction or headaches, which where there when it was kind of working before. I really need it or some other drug to work, so I don't drop out of my classes and then lose my internship. Need something to help my PFC functioning which seems really bad and stimulants don't help. So i'm thinking take 5 mg every day now that I seem to have a tolerance to the drug, or order nortriptyline and take it with nortriptyline, or take nortriptyline alone, or wait to see a new dr., or go to the UPenn clinic and shell out $1000 dollars. PFC functioning(ordering, evaluating, etc) would be helpful in figuring out this dilemma. I just avoid making a firm decision and flounder.
