Hi fairywings,
I'm 25mg as well at the moment. I was taking 37.5mg a couple of weeks ago, but had a flu at the time of the increase, had afew sleeping problems and so decided to drop back down to 25mg ~ which really seems to be going fine so far. I am prescibed to take 50mg though, so i'm going to have another go at pushing the doasge up again soon..(have to go really slow with the increase on this stuff though ~ helps to avoid unwanted side effects)
Not much side effects to be honest, none that are that bothersome. No sexual side effects thank god! lol Sometimes feel abit sick in the morning with the loss of appitite thing. Sometimes hit the wrong keys on when typing LOL But nothing that really bothers me too much i'm glad to say, the benefits seem to outweigh the side effects.
Sounds frustrating about your psychiatrist! At least you have it prescibed from your GP though..perhaps 25mg - 50mg is all your need? I'm finding that this drug is very powerful, not so sure I'd want to be taking high dosages lol (may get extra unwanted side effects at the higher dosages too?)
What side effects are you having?
Kind regards
Nick
