Actually I just bumped my dose two days ago, and I am doing stuff instead of thinking it- so it may be the formulation change, or it may be that I whiegh a hundred pounds more than I used to...
Still Fred, doubling up at once may be strong! you can go 60, 75, 90 so feel it out. Do you want to be in hospital getting pulled off the drug by some ignorant resident and going back to square one?
Call me paranoid but drug induced mania and the following trip to lock up hell are soooo counterproductive. Crawl it up over some days or lweeks and see where you get. A 100% increase is a lot. A 33% increase and some thought about why you're crying is a healthy pause. It doesn't happen all at once. You don't get fixed in a day- it's a process. I hate that, but it's the truth.
If 60 doesn't lighten you up in a few days to a week, go to 75. But this drug does have high dose side effects and why invite trouble? I know how hard it is when you're sick and hurting, but be judicious. Even 45 to 67 to 90 will soften the shock at least and let you see where you really need to be. Top end increases can need to be subtle...
