So first of all I want to make clear that I'm not upping my dosage by myself, my psychiatrist upped it!
For context : I've been taking 50mg (two tablets) of Valdoxan for about 2 years now, along with:
- 400mg quetiapine
- 12,5mg Tercian (to help me fall asleep and not have mild panic attacks when I go to bed)
- 36mg Concerta in the morning for my ADHD
- Drosperidone (contraception pill)
I fell back into depression and my psychiatrist upped my Valdoxan to 75mg (by taking three 25mg tablets instead of two), but I can't find ANYTHING anywhere about anyone taking more than 50mg. Even the information leaflet doesn't mention taking three tablets.
I guess that if he prescribed it to me, it's that it's okay, but it makes me really nervous to know that 75mg isn't a standard dosage at all - especially given that I take a lot of different meds, so I'm worried about the interactions too.
I'll ask at the pharmacy when I go tomorrow, but in the meantime I wanted to ask: is anyone of you taking 75mg? How is it? Do you have any side effects? I'm so nervous 😭
