It might be that you have a naturally higher threshold for medications. I have a higher threshold for a lot of them, though I can feel the difference between no antidepressants and low doses, but I need way higher doses for them to really do me any good. My shrink says that in his experience, people with long term depression or dysthymia that lasts for years tend to need the upper limit or more of recommended dosages.
Which makes for really interesting times trying to navigate the side effects that happen at that level of medication.
