The "safe" dose depends on your body and what other medicaitons you're taking. The adult dosages suggested in the prescribing information are:
• 20 - 60 mg/day for major depressive disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder
• 60 mg/day for bullimia
• 20 mg/day for panic disorder
Any sleep disorder can exacerbate depression. If you have sleep apnea, it's very important to be treated for it.
