Amy,
That's such a disappointment, especially as you felt some positives at a very early stage.
Those initial feelings of a new wonderment at the world are well worth pursuing.I also felt a slight sense of unreality in tandem with this feeling- they both seem to settle down after three weeks or so.
I agree that you should stop immediately and let the rash fully subside.As you seem to be just as sensitive to this med as I am, you could always restart on a 5mg dose for a few weeks, to safely gauge your response.
I stared at around 4mg for a few weeks, and took seven weeks to reach 25mg.Well worth it in my case.
Whatever you decide though, don't give up, and good luck.Col.
