I'm not expecting any miracles.
I started at 30 mg and quickly raised it to over 90 mg over two weeks.
I follwed these instructions----
Early Phase Treatment:
Dosage should be increased to at least 60 mg/day at a fairly rapid pace consistent with patient tolerance. It may be necessary to increase dosage up to 90 mg/day to obtain sufficient MAO inhibition. Many patients do not show a clinical response until treatment at 60 mg has been continued for at least 4 weeks.Maintenance Dose:
After maximum benefit from phenelzine (Nardil, Parnate) is achieved, dosage should be reduced slowly over several weeks. Maintenance dose may be as low as 1 tablet, 15 mg/day or every other day, and should be continued for as long as is required.--------
So far I've learned not to take any pills after mid-afternoon. I tend to have hypersomnia but with this dose of Parnate, I can not sleep at all if I take it too late in the day.
Each time I take a handful of Parnate, I get a headache but that goes away within an hour.
I began April 13 2007 so it has only been three week so far.
Later. Roger.
