Ace, I greatly appreciate your advice!! Not only are you the only one I have come across so far that seems to know what they are talking about, but the others vouch for you, so I trust your opinion.
I understand what you are saying about the titration being too slow, but I just followed the docs orders. But like I said, he's just following text book advice. My next appointment is the first week of December. So it will be eight weeks on 60mg. I'm not sure whether you are suggesting to switch to 90mgs ASAP or during my next appointment. Either way, due to my current situation, I cannot afford to make more appointments than absolutely necessary. But I will definitely talk to him about going straight to 90mg.
This is actually the first time I have heard 12 weeks max. Everyone else claims 8 weeks max. But then again, I suppose everyone is different. That's why I wanted to stay at 60mgs for 8 weeks before moving up. In case the 60mgs happened to work very well and I did not have to raise the dose.
If I do go to 90mgs I will take it in three doses like you mention.
