You do know quite a bit, sl! :-)
Anyway, you made a really good point, one that I had already mentioned to her - not to exceed her therapeutic dose. The pdoc currently has her at exactly what you mentioned: 150-200mg/day, now divided between 150 mg SR in the am and 100 mg IR in the pm.
We thought that the SR might be causing a problem because she seems to feel yucky (a bit agitated, throbbing head) periodically through the day, and she and I figured this might be each time it "releases" (or does it just stream in constantly)?
I hadn't stopped to think that IR would peak, not SR! But if SR has "microbursts" throughout the day, this could explain the downswings she is getting. Hmmmm ...
