There are two questions here: 1. Is it safe? 2. Is it a good idea?
1. I don't know. All I know is that I have been up to 50. I'm one who usually needs a lot more of a med to make it work.
2. If you need that much to get an effect, maybe you should try an additional augmenting strategy. Adding something new to the mix. I take Lex, plus dexedrine, desipramine, neurontin, and ambien. Not that I feel better yet or anything, but each drug seemed to give the Lex a boost. Talk to your pdoc about all of your options. This just might not be the best strategy. How long have you been on your other meds?
Best,
EE
