A member asked:
How do you tell if you are on too high of a dose of a ssri?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Well, best way is...: To see a dr. and develop a relationship with them, so you can have your condition officially diagnosed and the medications prescribed and then discuss your outcomes and symptoms as well as any side effects. Generally, the SSRI class of medications can be titrated up to the maximum desired dose to help with your condition and symptoms, and if need be can also be weaned down with improvement.
