Tep,
Sorry you are struggling right now. I bounced around between 45 mg and 60 mg over the last 10 months. I sometimes had more insomnia, mild urinary retention, and edema at times at 60mg. I can't remember ever having that "good day" feeling at 60mg. Just this week I upped my dose to 75mg as I've been more depressed this summer, although that is more likely due to situational and psychological factors. Still, I am hoping the boost will help as 75 mg fits the dosage by weight equation for me. The good news is I did have a boost on day two, and today is okay, although I didn't sleep well. So far only other side effect is sexual :( But in the past, everything except hyperreflexia has gone away, so I am hopeful. I do feel a bit more motivated and have more energy. And my new pdoc (can you believe I found someone comfortable with MAOI's randomly?) feels that 90 mg would be okay, but she wants to start with 75 mg and see.So, you might want to consider 75 mg if it works for you according to your weight. But I would give the 60 mg a few weeks, and then consider increasing. I would not, if it were me, go straight to 90 mg. I'd rather go low and slow.
Good luck to you.
