The 1mg/kg is not absolutely set in stone; it is a result of extrapolating data from studies of MAO inhibition in test subjects based upon varying doses.
I have often thought about what overweight people do, especially those who gain weight from the medication! Do you gain weight, up the dose ,and gain more weight? ;)
All I can say is that perhaps the body weight rule doesn't apply as absolutely if your body composition is mostly fat, etc. This is total conjecture based in no scientific fact. What I CAN say is that the therapeutic dose for me seems to correlate almost exactly to the mg for 1mg/kg. 75mg/day worked somewhat, but nowhere near as well as 90mg/day. I weigh 86kg.
