I'm also just starting out, currently at 25 mg once daily in the am. It's only been five days and I felt a pretty good mood life already. Most of the ataxia, double vision, somnolecence, and insomnia is fading, but of course so is the efficacy of the drug since I started it. Probably by the end of the week I'll bump up to 50 mg a day. Everybody talks about the dosage window and you just have to find it by being really patient. I think it's hard though, since the delicate balance of enjoying the efficacy vs the side effects is a fine line.
don't be discouraged though, since I think as we titrate up, we'll enjoy less probs with the side effects and the mood lift will be much more effective. I think the worst part is having to wait.
