As Declan says, I have had temperature regulation problems -- run hot and cold a lot and I'm at 50mg now. I take 30mg first thing in the morning (or at like 3am if I can't sleep --less of a problem at 50 than at 40) and try to take the next 20 before 1pm so it doesn't affect my sleep. I do have to say, I've played with when I take my pills, have never taken them all at once -- it doesn't seem to really make any difference when I take them. I was thinking of going back down to 40 because the orthostatic hypotension has been way worse and the higher dose isn't helping my depression. Anyway, maybe I'll try taking it all it once and see if anything changes. Take care, Lauren
