Thanks, Joy.
Actually, I started at 2.5 mg., if you can believe that! I am extremely sensitive to medications, and 5 mg. about knocked me over when I first started. I worked up to 5 mg. and stayed there for a couple weeks without much trouble, then went to 7.5 for a week, and then to 10. But at 10 mg the anxiety was crushing. I'm back to 5 now. Can 5 mg. even do any good?Thanks for your help and responses,
