Yeah, bad insomnia for 3-4 nights for me. My pdoc started me out at 10mg 1st day, 20 2nd, and 30mg 3rd day. I doubt I would respond to less than 30mg but who knows? If you ever decide to try it again, I'd try going right for the 30mg. I had unbelievable response to both Emsam, and Parnate within week. I only say this because I've NEVER responded to any other AD. Were all different tho, huh? Wish there was one magic pill....!Thanks for the response,
Jade
PS-I'm rather low weight. Don't know if initial dose is based on that. It came up in another post, I'll find out.
