        @El.00 that's the typical starting dose and what I started at, I had to cut it in half down to 12.5mg. I was straight up hallucinating after not sleeping for nearly a week and couldn't stop shaking, so my mom made sure it wasn't an extended release pill and started cutting it in half. I was fine after like three days lol, but I would advise calling your prescribing physician before changing your meds if at all possible

      hey, i take 50 mg everyday. i had to slowly work my way up to 50 and im still gonna bump it up soon. i think you should start small and work your way up based off of others saying you have too high of a dosage

      sounds like you need to lower your dose. I had the same issues when I first started, but they went away after I cut my dose in half. if you're also not sleeping, cut your pills NOW and THEN go to an ER to make sure you don't have serotonin syndrome

      I would suggest someone taking you to urgent care or the ER. You may need to get off the medication most likely or lower the dosage. I hope your doing ok soon.
