- Tolerance is determined based on absence of adverse events, and patient reported therapeutic effect, in line with patient-reported goals
- Start at 15Â mg (or lower if determined to be more suitable (i.e. 10Â mg capsules are available)). Increase incrementally as needed, every week or so. There is not usually any urgency and patients generally take some time to assess effect and tolerance. Table reflects general guidance, not all clients will need or want to reach 60Â mg twice per day
