POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
_Adults:_
The usual total daily dose is 75 mg to 150 mg in divided doses or as a
single night-time
dose. Treatment should be initiated at the lower dose. In certain
circumstances,
_e.g. _
in hospital
use, dosages up to 225 mg daily have been used.
Suggested regimens: 25 or 50 mg three times daily or, alternatively,
75 or 150 mg as a single
dose at night. Should the regimen of 150 mg as a single night-time
dose be adopted, it is better to
give a smaller dose for the first few days.
_Elderly:_
50 to 75 mg daily initially. As with any antidepressant, the initial
dose should be
increased with caution under close supervision. Half the normal adult
dose may be sufficient to
produce a satisfactory clinical response.
_Children:_
Not recommended.
