A normal starting dose and it may not need increasing from that. Many people find this dose sufficient although it depends on the severity of the depression and the tolerance of the individual.

I took 20mg (the starting dose), but some people need more. 'Normal' depends on your body. What's normal for you may not be normal for me.

usual is 20 mg. I have been on 40 mg for about 6 months. They say there is no benefits to more then 40mg. Studies done by drs. say if 40 doesnt work switch medications.
