It would almost be easier to go to the hospital and have them do it there, but this is a 5 week med change and I do not want to be inpatient for that long. I'll do what I have to do at this point to get better because I am sick of being sick. She probably hasn't suggested hospital because of the amount of time I would have to be there.

These were my instructions:
Week 1 - 12.5 mg once a day
Week 2 - 12.5 mg twice a day
Week 3 - 25 mg a.m., 12.5 mg p.m.
Week 4 - 25 mg twice a day
After that, it was increased 25mg every week until I reached the proper dosage.
Hope that helps
