That sounds right to me. I believe the PDR lists the maximum dosage of clomipramine as being 250mg, so you have some room to work with.
It is hard to guess at what your reaction would be to a 100% increase in dosage. You may tolerate it well or you may trigger side effects that would not have emerged had you used an intermediate dosage. I can certainly understand your impatience at wanting to relieve yourself of a tortuous depression.
Perhaps you can open the capsules and pour out half the contents so as to take 75mg for a few days to see how you tolerate it.
I will be interested to see how you do with clomipramine. I hope it is your magic pill. With the exception of the MAOIs, clomipramine is regarded by many to be the most efficacious antidepressant.
