Has anyone gone higher than 100mg?
In clinical trials, the dosages used ranged from 50-400mg. The manufacturer now recommends that 100mg is the maximum dosage, although it insists that no additional benefit has been demonstrated beyond 50mg. By comparison, the maximum recommended dosage of Effexor, the parent compound to Pristiq, is now above 300mg. It had been 225mg before reports came in stating that many patients needed 300mg and above to respond. A few people need 600mg of Effexor.
I am curious to see where doctors eventually set the top dosage of Pristiq after they have had a few years of experience with it.
