Yes defiantly go up to 150mg, then 200mg depending on how you feel. For me I felt it at the low doses but the effect totally faded after 2 weeks. But on 250mg the good feelings faded but gradually worked their way back without the anxiety feeling being profound. I think I need 300mg as sometimes like today I feel sort of flat but not too bad, I reckon as I told you before I will feel better again soon. Its not like I'm cycling badly anymore, as its less profound to other people and myself. I have a conservative Pdoc as well so I don't know if he will let me go up to 300mg, he seems to think the optimal dose is 225 for "most" people, but as we know, and he obviously knows (I hope) everyone is different in how we respond to this med. Even if he doesn't let me I think I will anyway as my surgey always always dispences about twice as much as I need, as the normal Dr is real slack, I think hes depressed himself as he doesn't really care and when you go to see him method of conversation is basically grunts. I'm in the UK which is not exactly at the cutting edge in terms of treatment, but at least I get cheap meds.
