I would probably not go over 125-150, where you start to get an "adult" dose of what it actually was intended for in the 70s apparently, which was to slam your depression at a brick wall and make you sleep all day apparently and of course provide various serotonin modulation (mild humor value.) It is not habit forming but the dose can escalate (dose A doesnt work any more so dose A+B will have to be done, etc.) to a point where you will have to back down/vacation from that 125-150 and go back to say 75-100mg.
The larger the dose, also, probably the greater the chance of priapism, which, if I am guessing you are a male, is not a good thing, especially an older male I only theorize -- and it happens more than the black type says, believe me. You can always solve that by standing on your head, no kidding... (I hear raucous laughter in the background...)-- tidings
