hey i just wanted to say i am a little concerned about the suggestion of some the up-ing dosages is no big deal and a higher dose means better results.
This is not the case especially with respects to ssri and the like. higher does not equal higher efficacy if it did you doctors would all start you on the highest dose in fact there would be only one dose, so please be careful and considerate when giving and taking advice from others,my biggest concern of this topic is that some have seem to imply up-ing this doses without your doctors consent please do not do this! i understand as a fellow sufferer (not only depression but chronic illness) that we go through so many pills and treatments we start to feel like experts on the matters of therapy and medication but in truth we are not so be mindful and good luck to all of you.
p.s.
I see a lot of you have anxiety issues but for the few of those that spoke of major depression have any of you considered alternate therapy like ect?
