> I saw both my regular pdoc (a resident) and her boss (attending physician) today. We decided I would start taking 70 mg. of Marplan. The maximum is supposed to be 60. Has anyone else gone past the max of an AD, esp. an MAOI? Has it helped?
I've gone to 105 mg/day of Nardil and found it somewhat counterproductive. However, the recommended maximum of Parnate at 60 mg/day seems to be routinely exceeded, apparently with good results in some cases. Parnate is a rather different med than either Nardil or Marplan, though, which are both hydrazine derivatives and relatively similar to each other. I seem to be doing relatively well on Parnate at 50 mg/day myself and doubt if I would have any reason to go beyond 60. I assume this is one you've already tried, though.Todd
