She might be a keeper. Ime, 90% of GPs will prescribe a starting dose of 50mg.

I'm feeling the side effects now, but hope it will improve in the next couple of days....
While starting on a low dose should moderate the severity of side-effects it may not eliminate them. It become a matter of treating the symptoms as they arise. Plus, keep in mind that not all are necessarily caused directly by the AD. And anxious mind is very capable of producing the whole gamut of side-effects too.
