MA,
I am now up to 20 mg of the SR version. Before that I took 10 mg regular, 3 times a day. But to START, my doc recommended 2.5 mg for a week, then 5 for two weeks, then 7.5, etc. Very gradual. He is conservative that way, which I like, especially since my earliest experience with ADs landed me in the ER because of the severe sedating and agitating effects of the initial dose.
Go submit that receipt after the fact to your insurance. Get your doc to communicate with them about coverage.
