What dose were you on Jaclin? That's amazing that it only took a few weeks to kick in. I started at the beginning of Nov. but I have been ramping up very very slowly as I had such a horrible terrifying reaction to Nardil 10 days after I increased from 45 to 60 mg. I've been increasing the Marplan just a quarter tablet at a time, in hopes of avoiding that, but now as a result I'm only going to be able to be on the max dose of 60 mg for 2 weeks before having to start weaning down. But I can't believe there's much likelihood that 60 mg would work miracles when the smaller doses have done nothing beneficial. The old books all said 30 mg was the max dose, then after it was put back on the market after being taken off, they did 2 six week trials and decided 60 was the new max; how they went about getting people up to 60 and determining that fast whether it worked is unclear to me.
