Advice & Tips: This medicine really has helped my mood disorder. I stay fairly even most of the time. Start this medication at a VERY low dose and titrate up slowly maybe raising the dosage only every two weeks. This helped me to adjust easily and my current dosage is perfect so far but as we know everything is subject to change any day. lol. I feel almost normal again.
