Strange that your Pdoc hasn't increased your dosage. Mine started me on 20mg, increasing it to 60mg in 3 day intervals. Then once the effects were felt he started backing me down. According to him, the high dosage is like a jump start, but as I mentioned my depression was present from childhood.
For whatever reason, my body takes more chemicals/meds than other people. My Pdoc said he usually doesn't prescribe such a high dose for somebody my size (5'10, 150lbs).Did you start out at 10mg? Or have you increased to it? I wonder if you've started at 10mg, why it hasn't been increased, esp if you're feeling a "tolorance".
Nardil, btw, sucked. All of the potential side effects occured. By day 3 I knew it was wrong and switched to Parnate, which I could tell w/in 4 days that it was working. It's so right, that I don't want to chance a different one, only for the SD side effect.
Good Luck...
