Sorry if this sounds disjointed. I'm very disjointed today, can't think straight. Self esteem has gone into the crapper, literally overnight.

Thanks for any input.
I'd wait to your next appointment. If it's literally been one month, then that's only four or five weeks. Often it takes 6-8 or even more to see any improvement. 50mg may not be a therapeutic dose - I was on 150 and noticed the big difference between 150 and 200mg.
Thanks for this!
