You cannot say you've given Nardil a trial until you've taken 1mg for each kg of bodyweight per day.
I weigh 86kg, so I take 90mg/day. It says right there in the monograph: "Doses up to 90mg may have to be used to obtain sufficient MAO inhibition". If your doctor has a problem with your taking 90mg/day, get a new doc. Go to 75mg/day first, though; it may do the trick. I find that 60mg/day even has some anti-anxiey effect on me, it just isn't much of an antidepressant nor is it pro-social. It does help with social ANXIETy, though quite a bit.
