> Went to my Pdoc today and I will be starting Parnate tomorrow. He told me to start at 10 mgs. in the morning, but I was thinking 10 in the morn. and another 10 around noon. What do you think? I want to start feeling better asap.

I believe your doc told u the same i first told u a few posts up about the single 10 mg dose.
You have never taken an maoi,just what ssris?So for the first time your going to have areas of the brain activated and stimulated etc.....Like i had said for me on my first use of parnate was from years of pounds of sssri use,so the minute i took parnate i had a strong postive stimulant effect,this lasted a few days were i was able to go on a single tab.
So what i would say is to do EXACTLY this,dont forethink or worry about ur dosage,lets see how ur gonna respond.Take ur 10 mg only for at the least one day.IF you have a postive response DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT
increase it,take it slow,the pills are not going no where,if one pill works ride it out,dont just take a second one for the purpose of taking it.
If there is no response then begin the 20 mg,but again if u respond to the 10 mg ride it out,it wont last,its the initial effect of the moai on u,enjoy it,youll have all the time in the world to take standerd doses of parnate in the 30 and above range,i only wish i could have a old school day where that one morning tablet had me going perfect all day.Last not to mention one 10 mg tab is what ur doc is wanting u to use.
