I dont think there are really dose limits on most medications...the deal is, especially with psychiatric meds, that doses usually fall along a curve, and most shrinks aim to keep doses inside the curve...dipping below could cause problems with efficacy, going above could cause problems with side-effects. But...thats just a general rule. Now and then, doses will need to be adjusted upward or down from the prevailing norm to make an individual patient feel better...thats part of the "art" of psychopharmacology.
