[lifesaride]

i did start today, just cold a lil achy, and a lil depressed

[flmagi]

yes, then maybe you need alittle more for a few days. Maybe you should wait til tommorrow though or you may have a hard time sleeping tonight.  Tommorrow try doing 6 mgs in the AM then 4 mgs in the afternoon, if you still feel thats not enough, try another 2 mgs. That would be a total of 12 mgs for the day. Once you get you dose right, stay on that for about 5-7 days then start dropping down til you get to about 4-6 mgs and level off at that for awhile.

If you're absolutely uncomfortable today, try 2 mgs more. That should take care of you til the AM.

thank you flmagi, i did take another 4 mg

I agree. Just feel it out. Adjust to your need. If you are still feeling w/d symptoms, maybe take another 1/4 or 1/2. If you feel dizzy, queasy, headache, maybe try little less. I never had the "cold" feeling. Sounds more like w/d and maybe you need a little more. But I would not take anymore than what makes you feel comfy. Just take as little as you need to feel ok. Just my experience.

yes, sometimes you need more the first week or so to get you over the hump...after that you will be able to feel when you will need less sub...
you said the doc prescribed 2, 8 mgs per day?  maybe thats what you should try for the first week....?
