Tranylcypromine for me was fairly effective at 60-80mg/day. Then, at around 120mg/day, the effect on social phobia and anxiety became better, but due to its short half-life, I had to spread the dose out taking tablets all day long to maintain that effect. Otherwise, it would become anxiogenic. At 200mg/day (the best dose I ever tried), I could take 100mg in the morning and 25mg four more times per day (3-4 hours apart) and get an almost euphoric sense of well-being. Ironically, Nardil at 90mg/day is way more energizing. Parnate's effects on blood pressure are strange and often fatiguing, although I never had problems with sleeping during the day. My initial relief from insomnia also disappeared after a while, but it still wasn't as bad as 60-80mg/day, which was a severe nightmare instead of simply a nightmare. Even on Nardil I need 3mg of lunesta to sleep properly.

Overall, Nardil is far superior for me. I don't intend on stopping it (so long as it remains effective) for at least a few years if not life.
