> I take 90mg/day phenelzine and still remember dreams. Also, I still remembered dreams on 200mg/day tranylcypromine. What the hell is up with THAT? Should I keep raising the dose until REM is suppressed? ;)
SLS posted below saying that he wondered if dream suppresion is an indication of therapeutic levels of MAOI's. My own experience is that I've felt good at different levels, based on situation and whether I am in a depressive episode at the time or not. I need more in those times. But I don't necessarily correlate dream suppresion with how I'm doing with depression.I haven't paid all that much attention, though. So he COULD be on to something...if you feel good at your current dose, I would say go with that, dreams or not.
