> 30mg for about 9(?) days. It might be helping, but I can't tell. I've gotten depressed again. It's sort of unimpressive so far. Maybe it needs more time.

You are still early in the game, however the #1 reason maoi's fail is due to insufficient doses. Remember even 60 mgs. most people agree is based on Litigation fears. I think it'll work for you C, but you need to be more agressive with the dosing. I'm not a good example because i need high dose everything, my pdoc says i'm a poor absorber of meds, anyway by day 9 on was on 60 mgs. and it "kicked in" on day 10 for me, you will definitely know it when it kicks in...unlike other non maoi AD's you can feel a difference. I would say right now at 30 mgs. if you haven't felt a difference in 9 days...trust me with the right dose and adequate time you will "feel it", it's time to increase the dose. As always this is only my opinion...one i feel very strongly about :). Keep us posted, and don't give up. Best wishes.
