I used to take the SR, which is the same strength but not as time delayed, and found that 300 mg/day worked fairly well but that 150 mg/day had almost no therapeutic effect. This stuff has a fairly narrow therapeutic index, and you could just be below the threshold of where the antidepressant effects start becoming noticeable.I would suggest letting your doctor know how you're doing and ask if you might go up in dosage. There is no real need to visit in a case like this--call the office and ask someone to relay a message. I am currently waiting to hear back from my pdoc's nurse on a dosage increase on my own med.
