Going from 5 to 10 is actually a pretty big jump. There's always the 7.5 option.

Ability worked very well for me moodwise. My side-effect was jaw clenching. My pdoc told me to try taking Benadryl, which helped some. The clenching made me think I was more anxious than I really was, so once in a while I'd work with doc to go off med. Within 3 weeks I was a mess and would once again go back on it.

I've been off since Feb and doing well, but there have been a lot of other positive changes that made it easier for me to cope.

I wish you well.
