C.-
here's no cause for concern re: your dosage as opposed to others'. evryone's different. just like some AD drugs that are miraculous for one person are a bloody nigtmare for someone else, your effective dose could be different from mine.
i saw incredible results on no more than 20mgs. i took my one pill daily and never thought of upping my dose. it wasn't necessary. more might have been a bad thing.
i say start at 20mgs. if it works well enough for you, stay there. if not, split a pill and take 30mgs. if that works, stop right there. if not, maybe you need 40mgs or maybe a different drug. talk this out with your doctor.
my sister was at 60mgs. and i was at 20 AND i was the more "messed up" of the two. see what i mean? it just varies. (a friend was on 5mgs in a liquid suspension. she discontinued because it was "too much" for her. wacky stuff)did i mention that i loved celexa?
