"i took 5mg for three weeks and the upped the dosage to10mg. that was 7 weeks ago. i had very few side effects with the initial start up or when the dosage was upped. the reason i upped the dosage was because i read where 5mg was not therapeutic. my anxiety has disappeared completely. however, i am having a problem with the fatigue. i am going to talk with doctor about taking it at night instead of morning. possibly need to lower the dosage. my biggest fear is insomnia. i can deal with other side effects but insomnia makes me crazy. the fatigue is not every day but hit bad this afternoon. i am also weaning off clonazepam. i took .5 every other day for four months. this month was .25 every third day. next month .25 every fourth day."
