I'm wondering if you are titrating your dose up too quickly? You must REALLY up your dosage REALLY slowly on this med. I personally didn't have to go up so slowly....I started at 25mg and went up 25mg a week until I reached 200mg. But some people literally start with half a pill for 2-4 weeks, then go up from there, maybe even slower. Whatever it takes to avoid the cogvitive side effects. Maybe this would help you?
Also, you posted a question earlier about when people started experiencing weight loss? For me it was about 75mg...I just started getting "fuller" at meals and wasn't as hungry, and this feeling is still pretty much the same at 200 mg. I'm still consistently losing weight, at a very slow rate now (it was quite rapid at first).
Hope this helps a little.
