Increase to 10mg: Need some encouragement
Hi All,
Been like 8 weeks or such on 5mg after few month stint on zoloft (switched due to intensifying tremors and shakiness) and been some ups and downs along the way. Doesn't help been dealing with a B12 deficiency, which has been adding to the mix (weird nerve sensations in hands, and still working on internal tremors). The shakiness has subsided more on lexapro, but still been working through crap (headaches/lightheaded feeling). Not entirely sure if this is more driven from cialis or B12, as been working through many issues.
Anyways sorry for all that, right now I contemplating making the leap to 10mg (original doctor's suggestion), I have held off jumping as I am sensitive to medication. Has anyone made the leap and what was the biggest thing you noted? Also, how long did it take for dose increase side effects to go away and how long until you felt it just all clicked and was the right dose for you?
Example about my sensitivity is that I used to be on just 37.5mg effexor (below therapeutic) for many years, before coming off due to lack of this dose in my host country (lovely withdrawls from that lol).
