Hello, Kathy! How are you?

Why were you taking such a high dose? Was this your first time taking it?

These medications should usually be gradually titrated to reach the optimum dose that works for you, so it's best to start with a lower dose then raise it as your body adjusts.

My god, that's a very high dose. The usual starting dose is like 30mg once a day. I've been taking this medicine for years and I only take 60mg. Anything over 120mg has shown to have no benefits. Sounds like your doctor shouldn't prescribe this stuff if he doesn't know the recommended dosages.
