I think I really need to up my dose also, started at 10 now on 20 for 5 weeks and although I was starting to feel better past few days had the shakes, hands shaking and obsessning that I have something horribly wrong with me, cant do go to 30 first instead of 40?

He might but I just figured he would automatically go to 40 since he started me on 20 not sure though. I really haven't felt any different on the 20 unless I take valium which I don't want to do just to get through everyday.

thats like me im supposed to take .5mg of ativan twice a day but I dont, i'll take just half of one in the morning. maybe if i took as prescribed i would feel better but just didnt want to take it often.
