Greg,
St. James is correct. I'm surprised you were given 45mg at the get-go, though. That's the highest recommended dosage in the US (I think it's 60mg in Europe).
My doctor started me on a smaller dose (15 I think), then increased to 30 and then 45. Recently decreased from 45 to 30 because for me 45 was too sedating -- it hit me within 30 minutes and made me very woosey(sp?) and unsteady on my feet. 30 mgs doesn't affect me so adversely, but still helps me sleep.
As James says, you won't feel the AD effect for weeks. Sometimes I wonder whether it's working at all.
Good luck.
