I took between 5 and 20mg/day (usually 15), depending upon how much I needed to focus and how long I was working. At 20mg I had razor-sharp cognition (even on benzos), but I was on the edge of excess anxiety, agitation, depression, and also tended to see the negative in everything. Galantamine is a potent agent; you'd do well to start with the lowest dose you can to see how it affects you. I took it with Strattera for a while, too, and that was even more effective. Unfortunately, Strattera made me completely impotent, just like desipramine.
If you can obtain both via prescription or otherwise, I'd give a serious trial of selegiline (5-10mg/day in divided doses) along with galantamine (dosage here is highly individualized). This combination was markedly better than Strattera + galantamine. If you cannot get selegiline, or you do not find it or galantamine alone satisfactory, try Strattera + galantamine or Wellbutrin + galantamine.
