Hey Scott -- no that's okay, I suppose I'm really just looking for external license to experiment, whereas it should originate from me. I realize it's probably not possible for you to speculate on what 20mg will do based on my reaction to lower doses.
I think I'll skip the titration process and just try 20mg for at least a week or so. The worst I can expect is increased anxiety and agitation, in which case I'll stop.

The worst thing that I would anticipate happening is a transient feeling of brain-fog and perhaps drunkeness along with nausea and headache.
