In reply to Parnate - Evidence for using high dosages., posted by SLS on December 27, 2008, at 16:34:43
> I'm posting a small collection of literature that can be used to justify the usage of high dosages of Parnate (tranylcypromine). It should help provide some rationale for using dosages of Parnate up to 150mg. While I don't expect every physician to accept this as evidence that 150mg is safe, I am hoping that it will change the perception of some that 30mg is a high enough dosage to produce results. In my opinion, the effective dosage range for Parnate is really 40-80mg.

Haven't had a chance to read all documents, but good you found the one referring to the StarD study. I have been in 100% remission for 9 days on 60mg of Parnate. One morn I was no-one, suddenly around noon I felt like myself again. I have my life back. Crazy. I'm sure you can relate to my interest in this cause. If/when I have to increase dose, my PDoc may very well say I'm at the limit. My next step is to find a good (MAOI enlightened) Psychopharmacist as suggested in one of your documents.
Not sure if you got my earlier message mixed in with all the Captain/SLS/DR stuff. A sincere Thank You for your informative posts and most importantly, "don't give up" you are 1 of 3 or so that convinced me to keep going (11 weeks), even when my family was telling me to abort and move on, even when s/e's really sucked. I made it!! Thanks again, keep doing what you do!

PS~hope your literature got you what you needed from insurance.
