Mav, that's interesting since when I used Nardil 20 years ago I took 15 mg twice a day. Now with Pfizer manufacturing it, the starting dose is considered 45. This is what so many users have said about the newer nardil after Pfizer became the manufacturer...if it is the same thing why is more Nardil necessary now? For drug sales?
What does it say for people that are having side effects at the starting dose? Does it say reduce the dosage and start at a lower dose?
Of all of the meds I've used, I always have started on the lowest dose, since I have alot of S/E's that cause me to have to discontinue meds too early (in the past).. My doc and I now know to start on the lowest dose and work up from there.
It's too bad the package insert says start at 45...many of us would have failed to tolerate nardil at this dosage. I will go back and look at the package insert again. I have read that you should start at 15 for a few days and increase to 30 as tolerated, so i wonder where I read that?
