I am glad my dr trusted me to increase at my own speed. <br /><br />I started at 5mg for about three weeks and then went to 10mgs. I found that was working pretty good with manageable side effects. I stayed on that amount for about three months and then decided to up it to 15mgs. I haven't been on 15 long enough yet to know if it is making a difference. <br />I was kinda good with the 10 but I am hoping 15 will be perfect for me. Like I said everybody is different but I think if I had of increased too fast I would have given up because of the side effects.jonn46https://www.blogger.com/profile/06566876151079612853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7639219.post-91853311063274954702011-05-26T16:37:51.009-07:002011-05-26T16:37:51.009-07:00Okay, so this response is a few months after your ...Okay, so this response is a few months after your original post. I was just prescribed Cipralex due to severe anxiety, depression and social phobia. They've started me out at 5mg once a day for 1 week, then the next week 10mg once a day, the week after that 15 mgs, until FINALLY 20mgs the week after (make sense? I'm still confused). I've tried basically every anti-depressant under the sun. I gave up on them 2 years ago as it seemed nothing worked. I'm hoping and praying that this time around I get the relief I need. I look forward to reading through your blog to know what to look forward to. I know not everyone reacts the same to medications, but it will be nice to get a general idea of what to expect. Glad you have this blog. :)Diskoboxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00816380989333325755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7639219.post-55427200867936375612010-12-31T07:06:02.035-08:002010-12-31T07:06:02.035-08:00yes it will take a bit more than that... but it do...yes it will take a bit more than that... but it does help, best of luck!Johnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11164043214472939044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7639219.post-42405095222303615702010-12-30T06:17:52.804-08:002010-12-30T06:17:52.804-08:00Thanks for that info.

I thought it could all be sorted in a month max. Hahaha if only it was that simple.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
