John,
That's good advice. I think people spend years reaching one state of mind, strongly alter that state with a medication and expect to have great results immediately. It is tough to be patient when battling any kind of disorder and I guess I was a little too aggressive. I am suprised that you got results from 1mg a day and then 1/2mg. How would you say that wb changed your daily life?

I was told to either take the 100mg SR tab once a day to start or break it in half and take half in the morning and the other half in the afternoon. However this was too much for me so I started with a 1/4 tab once a day for about 10 days then moved up to a half for about 5 days and then up from there to 1 tablet. I didnt need more. I also pretty much reduced it to half a tab a day cause thats all I really needed. Doing it that was that I did reduced the side effects which I had and didnt go away for 2 to 3 weeks. Buy a pill cutter if you dont have one!
