Hi Paul,
Well my former doc said if the regular dose doesnt work sufficiently, he just doubles the dose. to 6 tabs a day. Because its very unclear how this drug actualy works. In my opinion they are calling it a serotonin reuptake accelerator just because they wanted a unique label for this drug...
And in the dosage range studies it was very unclear which dose is best.
But for me 6 tabs a day was like poison. not in a physical way, but in a neurological way. One evening I suddenly became nauseaous, dizzy, and just had the feeling a am dying right now. I also became very noise sensitive during that. My guess and my doctors one, was it triggered some kind of seizure.
Well anyway, it didnt do the trick for me, neither at 2, 3 or 6 tabs, so I stopped it.
good luck
regards
Roland
