Hi I've been on Lofepramine for 5 years now and its certainly helped control my depression although i still have off days and i take another anti-depressent at the same time to help me sleep. My Psychiatrist said i could take 240mg but the pharmacists and internet all say this is too much but it doesn't say why. DOes anyone else take this much? DOes anyone take all their dosage at once? I take all four tablets at night so i don't forget them. Again my Psychiatrist said this was seperated to avoid problems with the stomach i.e heartburn etc and if i didn't get this then taking them all at once was ok. DOes anyone else do this?
Anyones knowlegde would be good.

My doctor said I couldnt take anymore than 3 x70mg a day as this was the highest dosage which i take 1x in monring, lunchtime and before I go to my bed. I have been on them for 6or7 years now and have increased them again as im having bad paranio which my doctor said is down to my father passing away in May and the time of year and that now is not a good time to change them. Im also being referred for CBT therapy. Im hoping this will all help me. I was previously on efexor xl but then they changed it to this one.
I would consider changing them but am worried what i will be like when they ween me off them onto the next ones as I have been there before and it wasnt pretty.

After renewing her prescription this morning I was contacted by her GP who was concerned that her references put maximum doseage at 210mg.
I have asked GP to talk to Consultant.

i've been on 45 mg Mirtazapine and the psychiatrist has said that as it's not working, she'll taper this down and put me on Lofepramine. I'm terrified as although the Mirtazapin doesn't help the chronic anxiwty during the day, it does give me a night's sleep. I'm terrified that I'm going to have this chronic anxiety and palpitations during the night if I don't sleep on the new table, especially as the are going to start me on a low dose. What dose would you recommend
.best wishes
Nessie
