>Scott...after a consultation with yet *another* psychopharm yesterday, he said that upper doses as you mentioned are really only limited by side-effects. He mentioned to me about Prozac, going up to 100mg's being no problem as one example. I don't know about toxicology of Remeron, so you may want to speak to a pharmacist, but if no problems, I don't see why not push the dose to get best effect.
Best wishes,
