Your doctor will determine your starting dose, usually 150mg daily, taken once or twice a day. This is often the standard starting point for adults.
Factors influencing the initial dose include your specific condition (depression, smoking cessation, or ADHD), your medical history, other medications you’re taking, and your body weight. Some individuals might begin with a lower dose, gradually increasing it as tolerated.
Never adjust your dosage without consulting your physician. They will monitor your progress and make adjustments based on your response to the medication. Side effects, such as nausea or headache, often diminish as your body adjusts.
Be open and honest with your doctor about any symptoms you experience. This open communication ensures they can tailor your treatment for optimal results. Regular follow-up appointments are crucial for monitoring your progress and making necessary dose modifications.
Remember, finding the right dose takes time and patience. It’s a collaborative process between you and your healthcare provider. The goal is to find the lowest effective dose that manages your symptoms.
