Hi and welcome to P-Babble,
Speak to your doctor and find out if he/she recommends increasing your dose by 37.5 mg. every
4 to 6 weeks until you find the dose that works for you. I found that 225 mg. worked for me, it's been 3 years now. Many people on this board and pdocs agree that 75 mg. is essentially a starting point (after the initial 37.5 mg. induction phase) and that some people benefit from higher doses. High blood pressure at higher doses is usually not seen until the 400 mg. + range, although as mentioned by another poster on this board, it can occur at lower doses.Good luck to you and good luck in your studies. Your post brings back memories of my experience as a teenager when I ate some of those "magic mushrooms" and experienced a panic attack. I wonder if my earlier drug-experimentation with hallucinogenic substances, "social cocaine" use
(sounds funny, dosen't it?)back in 1977-1990 increased by chances of panic disorder/depression later in life? Just musings from a forty-something year old with two kids beginning college. Take Care, Anne :)
