>The 60mg/day maximum dose is a fiction. It's really around 120-200mg/day, and any competent psychiatrist knows this.

Oh how I wish I could convince my arrogant young pdoc of this. He steadfastly refuses to raise the dose above 30mg, and hoped I would be satisfied with 10mg as a maintenance dose after the first month. I found that I needed *at least* 80-120mg to achieve a good therapeutic response. I am 5'9 and around 140lb. I've had people tell me here that I risked killing or poisoning myself with such a dose. In fact the reverse was true - 30mg agitated my suicidal depression and I was only safe at the higher doses.
