My doctor also used a two-week, step-by-step plan. But he told me that if I had serious physical side effects, I should try alternating days between the higher dose and the new, lower dose. (For example, 25 mgs then next day 50 mgs then next day 25 and so forth).
I never had physical side effects, so I do not know how effective that is.
I hope you feel better!

I talked to the doctor again today, asking if I could go back up to 50 mg, and actually she gave me the same advice. Alternating between 25 and 50 every second day. Since the 25 has no dividing line. Or I could have tried 37,5. Buuut… I'm gonna stay with 50 for a few days first. Then maybe try alternating from next week.
