I'm not a psychiatrist, but I'd start with at least 1200mg/day, probably 2400mg/day (800mg tid or 600mg qid) if you're not bipolar. If you have insurance, I'd get 240 400mg caps and start titrating up beginning with 400mg at night. If you don't have insurance, find another drug. ;)
> WOW! That's double the maximimum dose...at lower doses did it have much effect?That's the maximum dosage for seizures. We're not treating seizures here, so it's a whole different ballgame. It had about 75% of the effect at 2400mg as it did at 4800mg.
> Feel-good? Dit it have an AD quality at high dose, but not at lower?
It was a painkiller at 4800mg, honestly. No opioid euphoria, obviously, but like being wrapped in emotional insulation--hunger didn't even bother me most of the time. The only side effect was extreme difficulty achieving orgasm due to the strong analgesia.
