"i began at 1.5 then titrated to 3mg dosage. at first, i loved the medicine, as it completely eliminated my depressive symptoms and helped regulate my sleep. however, after being on the medicine for two weeks, i developed akisthesia and was told to stop. however, for those who do not experience tds or eps from the medicine, i imagine this will be a solid option to consider. just be warned- the most common side effect listed is &quot;restlessness,&quot; which hit me hard and fast."
