I hate to play the 'me-too' game, but I've also noticed an increase in mental tension/OCD and BDD traits on 30mg. My BDD symptoms are relatively minor, and have been submerged for some time, but, for example, I find myself feeling incredibly 'ugly' due to the sleep deprivation and not wanting to be around others.

I'd presume it's the amphetamine-like effect at play. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I understand, higher doses (i.e. 50-60mg) have a stronger serotonergic action and are therefore more anxiolytic. Last time I gave up because I was just feeling worse at 30-40mg, but this time I'm hoping 60mg will help. There's a report on askapatient from someone who found *remission* from BDD @ 80mg, and I believe Parnate is also a recommended treatment for the disorder.
