In reply to Nardil , how fast increasing from 60 to 90mg ?, posted by tepi on May 1, 2009, at 14:56:14
When working with Nardil, the goal, of course, is to find the minimum effective dosage so as to reduce the load of side effects. I know you want to feel well as quickly as possible. However, it takes 3 weeks to evaluate the effect that a dosage adjustment will produce. I would say to stay at 60mg for 2 weeks and then move up to 75mg for three weeks. If you don't respond to 75mg, at least you will have allowed the body time to adjust and tolerate the drug.
Remember, Nardil inhibits its own metabolism. As an example, to move up the dosage by 50% might increase the level of Nardil and MAO inhibition by 100%. The higher you go, the more the acceleration of this process. You really need to respect this aspect of Nardil pharmacology.
