I was taking 225mg for 9 months. I had improved so much after 5 months I was ready to start tapering back down, but my family doc warned me that winter was on the way, he always recommended that patients refrain from cutting back until spring; plus I knew my husband was certainly going to be deployed for the war. I'm glad I kept taking it, and I should have taken myself to the psydoc much sooner after my mental sitation worsened.
I feel much better after the increase, but I was pretty low, and she also has me taking 10mg of buspirone to try and moderate the bruxism side effect, so my experience may not be a good indicator of your results. I've definitely noticed an improvement in my depression. I actually can get myself out of bed on time most mornings, I'm procrastinating less, my concentration and overall mood has improved a lot. I've had a few stressful life situations occur since the increase and it has been a month now. I felt quite fuzzy for the first two weeks after the increase - don't know if it was the buspirone or the increase.
