Dr. Ivan,
FYI. I have great respect for you. Your free time is valuable and scarce, and yet you choose to spend some time here helping people voluntarily. You have my respect!

> The blood levels associated with this dose usually fall within the therapeutic range of 50 to 150 ng/ml when measured exactly 12-hours (plus or minus 30 minutes) following the last dose.

> Occasionally people do best on doses as low as 50 mg/day and I have occasionally run across patients who required over 200 mg/day to achieve a therapeutic blood level and a good clinical response.
