> One strategy that is often overlooked is to try using very high dosages of Parnate. Many people, myself included, have gone up to 120mg and occasionally higher. I am familiar with at least one case in which the patient did not respond until he raised the dosage to 300mg.

I agree. From what I've researched, you can continue to benefit from Parnate up to doses of 130mg. After that, while people have gone much higher, they don't believe there is any additional benefit. I took 100mgs and got the most benefit versus side effects. If I went any higher my blood pressure dropped too low and I was too dizzy (even with splitting up my dosages). At 100mg, taken three times a day (3 pills, 4 pills three hours later, and 3 pills three hours after that), I felt great. The only other downside was my acne was incredibly terrible. It really got much worse on the higher dosage.

I would try maxing out the dose before augmenting. Then try just one augmentor at a time.
