Good luck! It's nice to find a Dr who takes things seriously.

I was also prescribed 100mg but I've started on just 50mg so far, one morning, one evening. I started them 3 days ago. (I'm in the habit of halving prescriptions before taking them as I can be so sensitive to meds.)

About the blood pressure -mine tends to be on the low side too. I haven't taken it recently but we have a blood pressure monitor a home so I'll use that to keep an eye. It was only cheap from the chemist and very handy! (Last year some antidepressants caused my blood pressure to get really high and I'd never have known without the monitor as it was a rare and unexpected side effect.)
