I am now up to 100mg a day. I feel really out of sorts. That's no clinical description, I know. I'm not sad, irritable, depersonalized, agitated, or depressed...just "out of sorts" and hoping it will pass soon. My husband is just some guy is this house with me and why am I here anyway kind of feeling. Sleep isn't much better and I wake up from bad dreams with no idea where I am. Then again, I have a lot on my mind. Still, something is right about this drug for me because for the first time in my adult life, things that caused feelings of stress or nervousness in the past seem to dissipate. I no longer have any desire to reach for alcohol to self medicate my imbalance...balance is being chemically attained. I think it will be worth it if I can just get through the rough patches. I was really hoping to have weight *loss* as a side effect for a change (I've already gained on Seroquel). This has been the worst part so far, and it's not nearly as bad as what I experienced on Lexapro. Xanax is helping the situation until I feel better.
