In reply to Most Effective Parnate Dosage for Social Phobia, posted by johnb11 on August 29, 2005, at 17:06:10
Parnate is a tricky medication.If youre just starting out you more than likly will get stimulant effects as you tirate upward,this is usualy pleaseant.
Parnate likes to poop-out,however just starting it you should be able to obtain some reliaf at lower doses than veteran usesrs are at.
Id first stay at a dose range of 20 mg - 40 mg.Most important thing is,listen to your body,there is no set dose because people respond so differently to this med.
Your body will tell you,and if you feel better at lower doses say around 30 mg,STAY there.More is not better,all u want to do is get to your therputic range,you dont want to push your way towards any high range dose.
There will come a time more likly,and unfortunatly when you have been on the drug and its starts to poop out and youll begin adjusting dosages,this is the downside of a once for me great med.
So enjoy all the anti depressant effects u get at the lower doses,try as hard as possable to stay low with therputic effect.
Just fyi purposes though,YES people have gone very high,one poster here could dose a 100 mg dose,he took 200 mg a day.I believe thats the highest ive seen,but a generaly high and common dose would be 80 mg - 120 mg.Good luck.
