"45 year old woman, 138lbs 5&#039;7&quot;.
started at 25mg and titrated slowly. noticed within a week my stress responses improved. continued to increase as no change to organisation, memory or attention. felt ok even at 100mg. then since i started 120mg, i feel quite unwell. i don&#039;t think i&#039;m unable to sustain this dose as side effects are strong: nausea after 1hr of ingestion, tiredness, feeling as though i&#039;ve had too much strong coffee. the s/e definitely more pronounced if i&#039;m not doing anything so i try and stay active and never take this on an empty stomach! 
i&#039;ll give it 2 more weeks at 120mg (which will be 6 weeks total) then gently titrate down. it gives me palpitations, too, which make me unhappy. 
i get this free on nhs in uk."
