Hi,
probably 2.5mg every or every other day and to up 5mg if needed. Yes, it's the fact that my life is all about getting through the day in the sofa that have changed my perspective on the APs and the risks associated with them.
What dosage would you not go above? Are you taking it to augment antidepressants?Thanks,

Risk/benefit analysis is different for everyone, but having a certain quality of life is important. I wouldn't go above a certain level, and would certainly see my pdoc regularly or be aware if I felt any sort of unusual pressure or movement.
