That's what I did. 25mgs for a week, and then 50mgs after that. I've been on it now for about urrm going on for 3 months.


I didn't feel anything starting it at all. When I started celexa I felt a bit strange round my eyes, but with zoloft, nothing, no side effects or anything. To be honest it hasn't really helped me that much either, but these things vary for everyone.


25mgs seems to be the good small, low dose to start on. Seems pretty standard to me and I didn't get any side effects.


With all anti-depressants and everything they warn you that anxiety and depression can increase to begin with. Apparently it's most common with prozac (a psychiatrist told me that) and to begin with you do still feel crap, but I think that is more to do with people thinking it's going to be an immediate fix, which it isn't, and then continuing to feel high levels of anxiety to begin with. That might just be me talking crap though.


Anyway good luck with it, I really hope it helps you!
