I have been on 450mg without any problem. I have read that dosages up to 600 mg, can be neccecery sometimes. Just check the bloodpressure, and liverenzymes. I know from my own experience that its very importent with a completely remission from the depressive state. Otherwise its a risk of relaps. So don´t hesitate to increase the dosage. I know that some psychian are to conservative, and often use to low dosage. Go for it!
