I am supposed to start taking 60mg everyday now. I have not heard of it being perscribed at this high of a dose.
Anyone else out there close to this amount?

I replied to this on your other thread..
In short, it's outside the normal prescribing dose for depression; but not an abnormal dose for other things. That means, it's safe at that level but has not been shown to be more effective past the 50mg for depression.
However, just because there's no proven study doesn't mean it won't work.

I used to take 60mg. I've read that some people have taken up to 80mg. It should be safe.

I used to take 60mg paxil/day. Im now on 60mg prozac/day. I found paxil to be really good except for some weight gain and I think it pooped out on me.
