Manufacturer's recommendations:
Non-psychotic generalised anxiety.......
'Usual dosage is 1 or 2 mg twice daily. Do not administer at doses of more than 6 mg per day or for longer than 12 weeks.'
'When used in the treatment of non-psychotic anxiety, Stelazine should not be administered at doses of more than 6 mg per day or for longer than 12 weeks because the use of Stelazine at higher doses or for longer intervals may cause persistent tardive dyskinesia that may prove irreversible'
I would personally avoid taking single doses of more than 1mg.
Still, are you sure you need a high potency neuroleptic ACE? I thought you were doing well on Nardil, and that your anxiety was under control. Neuroleptics are not an appropriate treatment for mild anxiety.
Take care
