If used for depression only and is only med, tell doc to forget it. I can't present valid research but it is noted now more for its side effect of sedation and not seen as a good choice for only antidepressent. Some docs may use it to calm agitation on a temp baisis.
Dose varies widely.
These are experiences as sleep agent, which even as that is YUCKY.50-100mgs for most- some as low ase 25.
I took 450 for almost a year and at times 600, just to doze off. Later, for no real reason, 100 would knock me out for 18 hours. Finally, I went off it because it began giving me a terribly dry mouth. I literally would consume 2-3 liters of water a night...which lead to getting up a lot to get rid of it...
Ask doc for other options in my humble opinion.
ALSO...not a joke. If you are a male and notice a prolonged erection without stimuli or it just plain wont go away, go to the ER right away. It is prob a condition called priapism and is not to be messed with -- almost 50% of those that present with it require surgery. This alone seems to make it not a good choice...lol
good luck,
