Hang in there. I just increased my doseage today. From 75mg to 150mg to help with anxiety. I felt pretty good today, except for a return of the 'spacey' feeling. I had a friend over and she probably thought I was drunk or stoned or something. :) I'm a little concerned about upping the doseage but my Doc. is convinced it will help the anxiety. I'll give it a try and reduce it if I'm too wigged-out. In a bizarre way, these side-effects are kind of fun...like, 'Oh-my legs are twitching again...COOL.' And I am so happy to report I can deal with my kids/husband/daily stressors SO WELL now. It's like a new life; I actually woke my kids up for school by SINGING to them...I just felt so GOOD this morning. Not manic, just good. It's a day at a time, but so far I'm sticking with this med.
