And the acne is still there right now so I need something to make it go away anyway. It began at 60 mgs and worsened as I went up to 90 mgs. My initial antidepressant response - which began at approx. 40 - 60 mgs - went away after a period of time, leading me to believe it was the initial amphetamine-like effect. I was stable at 90 mgs for a period of time (w/ some episodes of abuse) and it worked fairly consistently as an antidepressant, with some mood lability - though not nearly as much as when I am off meds.
