Hi Denise.
> How long are you going to stay on 60mg,Probably for three weeks if there is no improvement.
> do you intend going up to the max dose of 80mg and if so for how long?
I think my doctor and I are looking at 120mg as a maximum. Many of the studies used this as one of the dosages tested. It probably makes sense to go to 80mg (40mg b.i.d.) for three weeks before going to 120mg. I guess it will depend upon the degree of antidepressant response and my tolerance of side effects.
