I thought I had posted a response to this a few days ago, but don't see it here, so....
150, imho, is not a high dose. I am on 300, and was up to 375. I have read here about others up higher than that, and my pdoc also told me he has had patients up to 600.
I think it is possible to raise the dose, or to try an augmentation strategy, such as adding another AD, a stimulant, thyroid meds, mood stabilizers, and others. Keep this in mind if you do try a higher dose and experience side effects, or don't get the results you want---sometimes a combo works well.
Good luck.
