There is an antidepressant dose, beyond which one is going to see little theraputic effect.
Remember that study somebody posted a while back.
It showed that 40mg of prozac was worse than 20mg, and that 5mg was only *slightly* worse than 20mg.
So you could take 20mg and be suffering all sorts of funky side effects, when 5mg would probably do just as well with far fewer side effects.
When AD's did work for me, I found out very quickly that 20mg celexa made me very tired and apathetic, and that 10mg ended up working better.
I just think that 60mg may be overkill, esp since it is the most potent of the SSRI's.
