> 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!*sigh*, the GP accused me self-destructively trying to self-manage my condition, and didn't care what "gun ho" american psychs did. my life feels like a perpetual Kafka novel.
