> Thanks, that's really sound advice. I'm all for keeping my dose at a minimum, but you're right--getting the needed control of my psychosis is what really matter. I just kind of feel like 30mgs is/was overkill in that regard.

I was somewhat blunted or "tranquilized" at that dosage for at least a year. When I dropped the dosage back to 10 mg, I retained a therapeutic antidepressant effect, but was no longer tranquilized. There is a huge difference between 30 mg and 10 mg. Your dosage range should be higher than mine as you are treating schizoid symptoms.
Good luck!
