225 is the standard therapeutic dose for most people. I'm on 375 mg with minimal side effects.

I think when I was on it, he bumped me from 150 to 300mg. Really had no problems with the increase at all.
Thanks for this!

I had the same dose change.. My only issue was being unable to sleep well for a couple days. Other than that, no problem
