> I think 75 mg/day will get more people well than 50 mg/day. Of course, there will be people who fall at either end of the dose-response bell curve.
Yes, I agree with that. Most people will probably need higher dosages of nortriptyline than I. The strange thing is that I can use high dosages of most of the meds in my combo (see my signature) with very few side effects, even though I am a slow metabolizer. Could there be an explanation for that? Is it possible that, for example the tianeptine, works against the side effects of escitalopram?
>Personally, I used blood tests to help determine the optimum dosage of nortriptyline for me.
Was the optimum dosage for you in the upper half of the therapeutic window, or above?
