One tends to look for parallels to the dose /treatment you were given as a comparator. From the deluge of data I have accumulated, your prescribed accelerated rate of dose increase seems far too fast. Interestingly, FAR MORE females take AD's compared to men. Also, - See Documentary - Dr's seem all over the place with AD administration protocols. With me, they tried after 8 MONTHS on 75mg = (despite me crippled with most of the bad side-effects), to up dose to 150mg. As a immediate result, on Xmas day 2017, I was sat with sweat running through my hair & quite delerious !! I kid you not. I stopped 150mg after 3 pills & went back to 75mg. Breathing problems were the final straw , starting Sept 2018. Then began titration. TOO FAST @ first 75mg to 37.5 in a month then 0. Vertigo took 3 days to subside & felt terrible .Internet advice NO, do not stop so quick. Go back to 75mg & start again , very , very slowly. Titration took from Oct 2018 to Oct 2022. Still get most terrible side effect symptoms.
