> OK, the reccoemended maximum dose is 90mg in 98% of momographs. However I have seen in the other 2% I have seen 105mg has been reccomended as maximum dose. Thes %'s are rough, but basically, as you can tell, I'm saying the VAST majority stipulate 90mg as maximum dose.

>Can you please tell me whether you noticed a theraputic effect from 150 mgs, or was it just an experiment that didn't work? B/C if you noticed any beneficial effect to being on 150 mgs, perhaps it would be worth staying on that high of a dose, with strict monitoring of course.
Come to think of it, are you still on 105 mgs and does it help and if so, how? Does it still produce that hypomanic reaction that's so common when you start MAOI's.
I've really had a very bad day, a job interview didn't go very well, I totally embarassed myself and am getting desperate at my inability to do well at things like these which 95% of the world seems to take for granted. And it's not my imagination.
So to recap, I'm getting desperate for some answers. Why does nothing seem to work for the long term?
