I may start to move up to a thereputic dose for depression as I have heard people have had results in that department, and that is one of the things I'm suffering with most. Something has to give. It's brutal.

If you're to move up, pls (!) do it slooowly. First time i started mirt, i thought i was up-dosing slowly enough but it hit me rather hard with adrenaline rushes close to my full dose. I got scared and quit it for half a year. It was half a year prior to benzo tapering. I didn't know anything about benzo effects then, although was suffering from benzo tolerance... The second time i was climbing up the dose for 6 months. It was ok.

Thanks Kate. Im just not sure how slow is slow enough. I guess I may have to work it out.

I'd keep each dose for 1 - 2 weeks and increase by 3.5 mg. In fact, I did it more slowly but know ppl in withdrawal who did ok this way. And, yes, sure working it out for yourself, symptom oriented (?)) But only if you really need it all.
