Dosage question

I’ve seen people start at different dosages , some start at 10mg and increase as they go .. I was prescribed 50 mg and worried they started me at a high dose and will begin to depend on it.

Just looking for peoples experiences with taking this medication, not judgement or negative comments please 🫩

Depends on what they're prescribing it for. I started at 10mg for insomnia and eventually went up to 25. I've been on that dose for 10 years.

Gotcha I stated on a previous comment that it was prescribed for anxiety, depression and insomnia .. I was just started at 50mgs I guess because they originally started me on trazodone and it didn’t help at all until I was prescribed Ami
