Well, I came across a journal article that said SSRI's may act on dopamine and norepinephrine at the higher doses. I am about 5'11" and 120mg of Prozac was increadible for me. My doc really wanted me to try Zoloft to help a bit with possible dopamine that high dose Zoloft can do. I found from my doc and from the web that you can safely go to 400mg of Zoloft. Zoloft and Prozac are really the only a.d.'s that have helped me over 15 or so years. I also use a benzo and Zyprexa. I actually have long since been rid of the so-called 'apathy' SSRI's can create, and these higer doses seem to be the answer. Like I said..and bleuberry did...I think the higher doses do more then just serotonin increase in the synapse.
