> Thanks for the info. I just took my first dose yesterday. I had a fast heartbeat (but not frighteningly so) about 30 mins. after but it subsided in about 20 mins. I'm looking forward to see where it takes me.

By the way, are you on other antidepressants? Were your main issues nonresponse, or an apathy syndrome?
I think I mentioned before that I had some palpitations on 3 mg a day, less on 2 mg a day, and rarely on 1.5 mg a day which I am now on. This side effect is not apparently common, at least as listed in the PDR, so hopefully you won't have it. The low blood pressure on standing can be a problem, and may be associated with rapid heart rate on changes of position until the body readjusts. Just go slow. Keep me informed!
