I agree with Pete. I take 30 mg./day (the maximum allowed dose) to help keep the head clear and it appears to have some value in that dept.

That said, I was advised six years ago by Dr. Schwartzman that the doses that were being considered by the FDA did not even begin to approach anything that would have a therapeutic effect on RSD. And indeed, the few posts and journal articles that have described any effect on pain have been deliberately coy on the dose issue. I went so far as pressing a guy a couple of years ago on the point, as well as how he got insurance coverage for anything above 30 mg/day, who told me he couldn't say anything so as not to jeopardize his supply source!
