> What is the starting dose? I didn't notice any negative side effects when I started on 20mgs.
sorry, just a bit confused - was this a response to my thread in the main forum?
i took 10mg yesterday. i noticed an increase in anxiety/obsessiveness, and an aggravation of insomnia. the former's an expected start-up side-effect, i gather, and i was prescribed low dose amitriptyline to treat the latter.
what sucks is that the very condition i'm trying to treat makes complying with treatment next to impossible. though i've promised myself i'll try stick with prozac for a while unless it kills me.
i was told to take 10mg for 6 days, then go straight to 20mg. can 10mg be taken as a therapeutic dose, or is 20mg sort of the minimum for major depression, etc.?
