High Dose?

delightfb · 05-17-2006, 05:36 PM

Just out of curiosity, has anyone ever been at a 60mg dose per day? After doing some research, it seems that it is an unusual dose...does anyone have any input?

I was on 60mgs for a while, and yes, it is a very high dose. I was a crazy woman. At the time, I attributed my behavior to grief and stress from the string of tragedies that occurred in a very short period of time. Knowing what I know now, it's clear that seratonin syndrome was a contributing factor.

How long have you been on that dose? Have you noticed side effects?

I have been on this dose for about 4 years. The only side effects I experience happen if I miss a dose.
