| 5 | Depression | recently upped from 450 1x day to 600 1xday. Experienceing shakes, nausea, headache, can't fall asleep at night, confused, hands are fumbling, feel like I'm on way too much caffiene. Not myself. Wondering if anyone else has had similar problem at this high dose or when increasing dosage? | On the 450 1xday for 9 years. Its worked wonderfully, a real life saver. Only side effects are dry mouth and occasional aggitation. Upped dosage due to a seasonal funk. | F | 47 | 2 days 600MG 1X D | 5/19/2011 | |

Wondering if anyone else has had similar problem at this high dose or when increasing dosage? Thank you to the responder to my question. I appreciate the help and your being so open regarding your experience. Unfortunately 600mg is too much for my system. My BP drops, Pulse goes really high and I feel like I'm going to have a heart attack. I tried it for 3 weeks but nothing changed in mood other than made me more aggitated. It just messed with my body. I'm doing good right now and if I get into a funk again Doc says we'll try an additional med. I'm not real interested in that as I take several meds for migraines. I feel like a walking pharmacy. | On the 450 1xday for 9 years. Its worked wonderfully, a real life saver. Only side effects are dry mouth and occasional aggitation. Upped dosage due to a seasonal funk. 6/1/11 update: Sticking with 450mg due to side effects. Saw my therapist for a few sessions. I'm doing good. Hoping I I don't hit a tolerence level because this is the only med that has really worked w/o super bad side effects. | F | 47 | 600MG 1X D | 6/1/2011 | |
