"one week at 5mg, three weeks at 10mg. no intolerable side effects, and it has by far been the most rapidly-acting antidepressant i&#039;ve tried (i&#039;ve been on four others). unfortunately, this is because i cycled into hypomania by the second week on 10mg. too bad! i didn&#039;t want to come off this drug, but it wasn&#039;t safe to continue. but hey, it worked - i don&#039;t even have depression anymore, because whoops, i&#039;m bipolar!"
