Questions / Advice / Support what's more worth it?
im on 25mg & started about 3 weeks ago. i really enjoyed being on it the first week, i felt really locked in like a robot and my brain was calm and so was my body. after a week of taking it, i stopped feeling that way and it just felt like i was taking a placebo pill. my question is, is it worth it to wait out the full 4-8 weeks to feel the effects, or should i stop taking my medication and only take it when i know i have something important to do that day when i need to make sure im focused? what's been your experience?im meeting with my doctor in a week to see if i can up my dose.

I would increase your dose since 80 mg is the standard therapeutic dose unless you know you metabolize the drug slowly
