    It's not a high dose, but it sounds like your doctor at least has said twice a day I was upped to 240mg and just took them all in the morning and was a mess by the next morning dreaming during the night waking up with panic attacks ect .then they forgot to prescribe any at all and things got worse . Give it a chance and tell your doctor your concerns . Good luck x

    You could ask for 75mg slow release ones?? 

    Why are you worried it won’t agree with you? X
