> Anyone know if incresing my dose of Elavil from 100 to 120mgs would make much of a difference? Only difference I seem to notice when increasing my meds in an increase in appetite? But I have it on good authority that TCA's work better at high doses, is this always true?


Hi.

I would say that the average effective dose for moderate depression is 150mg. For more severe cases, 200 - 300mg is sometimes necessary. I would not hesitate to push the dosage of Elavil to 150mg.
