Anthony, I know it is a locked thread but noticed the dosage on here. I have to just add experience here. I just want to point out it is extremely rare someone has to take 10 mg or more a day to treat. No doctor I have ever seen (except the one who dosed me so high and was a GP who did not warn of addiction and what that meant) has ever seen a patient who actually had to take 10 mgs a day and were shocked to see someone function on that much. My husband says they had me on 12 mg briefly but I do not recall that, I only recall 10 mg max. My doctors were experienced in PTSD and treatment but my main one with 25 years in the field almost fell out of his chair when he saw my dosage and it took that to make me "normal" and I was the first he saw dosed so high.

To this day and on this forum I have yet to meet another who had to take this much or did. If you are on this much you need a good therapist as it can be brought down. While now I do not take it regularly and take it if just means it is so bad I need hospitalization to calm me with drugs from a trigger I still have to take a 3 mg dose. This seems to be more of the norm for someone's daily dose spread out over the day used to the drug.

I have to strongly advise major therapy as the weaning process is nothing short of hell.
