hi - i stumbled over this board, because i had the excact same question as you. 10mg didn't work for me as well, but i was hesistant to double the dose, as i am hesistant towards all kinds of medication. but then i learned that to double the dose doesn't mean that the effects double as well - in fact it works like a hyperbola. i am now taking 20mg a day and feel much better -- i would say my mood increased from 60% to 80% or sometimes even 100%. i was wondering if anybody takes more than 20mg a day?
Hi,
Yes some take as much as 100 mg, but it's rare. 10-30 mg are the normal ranges. Higher doses usually required for OCD.
