Yes i agree...DO NOT TAKE MORE; especially if you are only on 3rd day. I took 10mg for 8 days and was not sleeping.....started physically feeling like crap and cut back to 5mg until I can see the pdoc next week. This is my first AD so i knew nothing to expect but MORE is not better of this drug -- until your body can adjust and i hear week #2 is the worst! You just have to hang in there and the s/e will simmer down. I sympathize with you cuz i feel good with mood stuff but my body just can't sleep at night and i hate staring at the clock.... and then i'm tired all day; i tried taking the LEX in the am, in the pm, mid-day etc. BUT i think i JUST HAVE TO GIVE THE DOSAGE I"M ON TIME TO level out. Hang in there --- but don't take higher dose!!!!!! so early in your treatment.
