Side effects increase greatly over 10mg dosages, so be aware of how you feel physically, this drug has serious side effects in some people.
Antidepressants can make anything worse, if its not the right drug for you. The problem with taking a pill is that not everyone acts the same to the same pill, because our bodies are all different including our body chemistry. Some antidepressants make my husband manic and he is not bipolar or schizophrenic or anything like that. And then their are some antidepressants that make him sleepy and lazy like. It all depends on you. This is why it is so important to be truthful with your doctor and to call them if you notice something really undesirable like suicidal thoughts or a lot of anger.
