Unless you're flying off the handle, I'd think lower=better, especially for depression. Just try to talk the pdoc into going back down to 300 and explain your reasons. I personally wouldn't tolerate drug induced stupidity unless there was no other option. If 300 worked at least as well w/o the stupids, then you should go to 300.
This might present a good opportunity to talk to your doc about his treatment goals for you. Maybe he sensed some agitation, hypomania? Maybe he just thought 450 was better, somehow? Talk it out. You've got 30 minutes, after all.
