> What prevents you from going above 30mg/day ?Spontaneous (non-food-related) hypertensive crises whenever I took more than 10mg in a single dose. Because it's a stimulating drug, I didn't want to be taking it late in the day, so I found 3 divided doses was the most I could do.
I'm told this is a rare-but-not-unheard-of side effect. At first I kept trying to figure out what I'd eaten to cause it...was frustrating!
