> Thanks to both posts! Good info to have! I would like to stick at just 10 because like you said, we all want to be on the least amount as possible I am sure. I have never taken anything before and I have read horror stories about upping the dosage. I will give it the full 7 weeeks before making any decisions anyway I am sure!

> Thanks again!I had to comment on dose increase.....horror stories??? I read here regularly and don't remember any of those??? I started at 5mg and had a really rough time of it, but hung in there with a LOT of great support from Babblers. At 5 weeks I increased to 10mg because I was experiencing anxiety attacks and horrible depression. I did not experience terrible se's, only some dizziness and vertigo, and I had to go to week 9 before I noticed *improvement*. Since then I have increased to 20, and then to 30mg, without any noticeable se's.
COFFEE......I'm a JAVA JUNKIE!!! Since starting Lex I have started drinking more coffee without increased anxiety. It helps me motivate through the Lex *lethargy*.....for me the tiredness evaporates if I ignore the brain telling me it's tired and it wants a nap. If I get moving, get involved in a project, etc. the tired feeling goes away.
Good luck to us all!~~~8|8
