Hi Eric. Sounds as if your blood pressure is low. Have you been taking it regularly?
The side effects could be temporary, and it could take more time for the positive effects to manifest.
I'm not sure that side effects correlate with positive effects. You've been on 40 mg or more for about four and a half weeks, and 60 mg for about two-- so I'd give it more time. You've given it a bit of time, but not enough to be sure how you'll respond.
It's possible you'd need a larger dose to respond, but some pdocs dont' like to go above 60 mgs and others are willing to experiment with higher doses. 40- 60 mg, as you know, is the commonly accepted therapeutic dose range. There are people here who've done more, but I suspect that's pretty uncommon, especially if your pdoc is less than very comfortable with maois.
Have you spoken with your pdoc about his approach to dosage?
