I've seen people say 10mg but it's doing nihing and neuro said keep going up till I got to 40. I haven't heard of people taking this much before except for depression where I know it goes higher
I take 50mg daily and have a friend who takes 60mg. My neurologist says he's got people taking 150mg daily, for pain, which is at an antidepressant level. I found the benefit for me reached maximum at 2 months, but you should find some in a few days. At any rate, it sounds like you'll likely need more than 10mg.
