No, 20 mg is not low, it is a pretty typical dose. I'd guess that the majority of my Paxil patients use 20 mg. The maximum possible dose, which is rarely used, is 50 mg per day. Beyond that clinical studies demonstrated no increase in effect, but a substantial increase in side effects. Most doctors don't prescibe more than 40 mg per day. The key is you want to use the lowest dose that adequately controls your condition.
