>Im pretty well Adapted to it now but I feel It could be better. I may go up to 90mgs but I fear If I do that now it will not kick in in time for the presentations I have to do at school in one week, I might just get more side efectd right away which will make me worse for presentating.. So I guesse ill stay at 75mg for now untill this semester is done then maybe try 90 if the 75 doesn't kick in better. Does anyone think that even tho it kicked in at 4 weeks and now I'm at 6.5 weeks that I will still get more benefits just staying at 75mgs? I dont want to go higher really, but if this is all 75 mgs will do I might have to. any input would be greatly appreaciated to know if my current dose will kick in even more.

>I thought you said above "it sure has curbed my social phobia". Isn't this good enough? What else are you hoping for it to do?
Anyhow, you may indeed find more relief from 90mg, but that doesn't really leave you any room should you need to increase the dose in the future, unless your pdoc is VERY familiar with MAOIs & allows you to go higher.
OR, have you considered adding clonazepam to help the SP out a little more? You may only need 1-1.5mg/day. Dont know if you've ever tried it but I've found clonazepam the best benzo for SP for me, but I need 3mg/day of it though at this dose I seem to have stabilized & never find it more-ish. And as Nardil already raises GABA you shouldn't need a very high dose.
