Sorry that I cannot be of any help regarding OCD dosages..
BUT I cannot believe your doctor is soooo conservative about the dosage?!
In most articles they mention dosages between 30 and 60mg to be completely normal (even the manufacturer of Parnate in Germany)..
There are not nearly as many controlled trials with parnate as with all the other newer meds, so it might be really difficult to find something mean particular about OCD.But you should find lots of articles in general about parnate where it's stated that 30mg is a really low dose and that dosages as high as (at least) 60mg are very common!
Did you already try showing those articles Scott and others mentioned before on babble to your pdoc? I guess you already did that, but if not maybe it would help?
Especially this article from those Harvard Medical Scool professors comes into my mind. The one published in Current Psychiatry 2002. I think Scott mentioned it and you can download it for free. If you don't already have it I could also mail it to you if you can't find it online.Good luck to you! Don't let anyone interfere with this great chance of a successful treatment option!
