So glad to hear this. I hope that it is the same for me. My goal is also supposed to be 200 mg but I never seem to hit my goal; I either need a high dose or a really low dose. We'll see. Eventually.
I am not doing very well. The mixed symptoms keep getting worse and I'm really struggling. Hopefully we get this started soon. I have an email in to my pdoc letting her know how bad I'm feeling right now and how scared it is making me. I hate the word crazy but that is how I am beginning to feel. I have safety plans in place for my therapist to get me IP if needed but hopefully I'll go in the other way first. I'm working so hard to cover it up with other people that I'm exhausted but I am too afraid to not cover it. This is so hard.

I'm a bit drowsy during the day - it takes until the 3rd period at school that I'm fully awake - but not so much that it bothers me. I haven't been on my bicycle since - it says to be cautious in traffic during the first couple of days, and I take that to mean the first couple of days on a certain dose. And given that I'm still increasing my dose every 2-3 days..
Sleeping is going well. I fall asleep at a decent hour and I don't wake up until my alarm clock goes off.
How are you, BtR?
