>Hi Francineus,
Day 11 is still too early to make a decision on how effective you think Nardil is. You need to give it a full 2-3 months to be fair. As for dose increases, if you are handling the side-effects OK, you should aim for the magic goal of 1mg/kg. This amount is not right for everyone, but it has been reviewed in literature a few times as a maximally safe and effective dose. Yes, for you that would be 60mg. Again, if you can handle another increase in terms of side effect levels at 45mg, I think you should try it. But there's no harm at staying at 45mg for a while longer. That dose may work for you, but you just have to give it time 11 days isn't long enough. I really hope Nardil works as well for you as it has for others on this board. Best of luck to you. Feel free to post more questions or to Babblemail me directly if you'd like to talk more.
