Rache - good therapists should start you on a LOW dose to start with and increase it slowly. Also, they should NOT increase it without your OK. My psychiatrist always asks for my input before making any med changes. So the fear of being over medicated should ease. They'll start you low and monitor you carefully. Also, your husband will be a good gauge for you, too. It's always good to have someone close to you monitor you for changes.
