It took two to three weeks for the irritability to wear off, then another week or so. As I mentioned, every time the dose was raised, I had to deal with some irritability. I would not recommend starting with a high dose. It may be too much for you. Besides, starting at a lower dose gives you the least possible amount to begin with, then if it isn't quite enough, go up gradually. I believe WB SR only comes in 100mg and 150mg tablets, so the lowest you could start with would be 100. I cannnot recall what the therapeutic dosage is, but I think the top recommended dose is 400mg. I think I started on 100 or 200mg, then titrated up to 400, then lowered to 300 and seem to be doing OK. I would think it would be worth your while to start slowly so that you will be using the lowest amount you need. Why give your body a high dose to begin with? Side-effects may be too much and you may want to quit. Just my opinion. Good luck.
