It's a bit higher than that. 150 mg for anti-smoking (as Xyban), 300 mg for severe depression or Bipolar 1 (as Wellbutrin) is not uncommon, but with all the others (esp. the Adderall and the mood stabilizer) and coffee to chase, yeah, that would wake up a mummified corpse.

That shrink should have his license pulled.

(That said, Buproprion is a miracle drug. As far as antidepressants go, it's in class all by itself.)

I'd like to emphasize that this is literally a true statement. It's what's called an atypical antidepressant [0] because it doesn't act in a way similar to other antidepressants.

The word "literally" is misused, unnecessary and annoying.

[pmiller2]

Unnecessary? Only in the sense that my sentence works without the word. It's a rhetorical device.

Annoying? You must be easily annoyed.

But, misused? Not if you agree with definition 3 on dictionary.com: "actually; without exaggeration or inaccuracy." [0]

I should have know better than to use THAT word on the internet. How silly of me.

Except in this case, where it is required to distinguish the sentence being true in a literal, as opposed to figurative, sense.
