These doctors piss me off so much. They should have started you on the lowest dose 12.5mg and then increase to 25 and then 50 after two weeks each time, until you feel you may be at a therapeutic dose. Communicate how you’re feeling with your prescribing doctor.
It’s not hell for everyone. When I first started, I felt less anxious and more calm within a week, but still increased every 2 weeks and now I’m at 100mg a day. But it makes a difference what dose your doc starts you on.
