Ah, sorry forgot dosage. 45mg - 2 weeks; 60mg 5 weeks (2 weeks into 60mg first response noted); 75mg 2 weeks (I remain here with good sustained response)
> It took me exactly 4 weeks on Nardil (a MAOI) to experience my first good response. This response, still at a low dose, went away - lost efficacy, after a couple weeks causing me to up the dose...in the end it took a total of 8 weeks (2 months) to get a stable constant good response to nardil. A long time I know...so anyone out there thinking about bailing on a med...make sure you do allow proper+++ time before you move on (if you can). It just may be worth it.
