Anyone find that 100 SR is more than enough?

I’m a big guy but no matter how many times I try any dose above 100, I get negative side effects and end up feeling worse.

100 mg SR once daily feels more than enough and actually works.

Anyone else?

How do you know what dose is enough? (And worries about insomnia)

Thank you all in advance for your help.

I’ve been on 100 mg SR for 5 weeks and 150 mg for 3 weeks. Overall it has been good. I feel I’m almost through the adjustment, but it depends on the day. I also sleep better paradoxically because I don’t need to nap as often.

Right now I feel like it’s working about 50%. I feel better, but still struggle with motivation, anhedonia, and some dark thoughts at times.

Years ago I was on 300 mg XL and the only thing I remember about it was that it was hard to sleep, so I’m cautious about doing the XL formulation or jumping right up to 300 mg XL.

Considering next week of trying 200 mg SR once daily in the morning.

What are your thoughts? How did you find the ideal dose? And what about frequency? Would I benefit from a smaller IR dose in the early afternoon or is that risking my sleep?
