>>But I believe that if I bunch up the doses too close together right now I will have more severe side effects.

> I am inclined to agree with you.Actually I cant take this so I'm gonna add another 7.5mg to my morning dose as well. I was taking 30mg in the morn & 15mg in the afternoon, as directed by my doc. And I was actually feeling better with that. I started the gym, started going to support groups and made much needed appointments. Not exactly in a good mood but 'doing things'. And I had energy too without fatigue.
The social anxiety seemed to have been stumped out, at least partially. Negative thought looping had stopped. Felt less self conscious. Avoidance was loosing its power and procrastination had faded somewhat. I was even thinking about working again! 1st time in 11yrs.Right now I dont feel like doing any of the above. Seems I was on a roll and that hitting 60mg would have possibly pulled me right out of my hole! Hmm...
Still, I will do my best. I have a busy day tomorrow, if I actually succeed with my efforts and dont back out! Counselling assessment in the afternoon, group in the evening and the gym afterwards. Thats a lot for me! Gonna have to give myself a big push though.
The good news is that the 'mentioned' side effect has ceased. The water works are flowing freely again, with the help of some mild diuretics (Stinging Nettle extract & di-potassium phosphate) and drinking lots of water.
So to make things clear thats 22.5mg/morning, 15mg/afternoon and 7.5mg/night.
If said side effect does begin to show up I can take the 7.5mg off the morning or night dose instead of a whole 15mg. Sounds silly, but these tiny measurements are making the difference right now.
