In reply to Nardil dosage, posted by Nick2010 on December 9, 2010, at 8:37:41
Hi,
I've never heard of 15 or 30mg of Nardil working for atypical depression or social anxiety. I've been on Nardil for most of the past 12 years. You have to take enough Nardil to get a high degree of MAO Inhibition. When I'm feeling good, I can be OK for months at 60mg. This tends to lower most of the Nardil side effects for me. During rough stretches I have gone to 90mg and sometimes higher to get an adequate response. I am currently augmenting with 1mg of clonazepam, down from 2mg. I want to slowly eliminate the benzo because of memory problems after chronic use.
Good luck in your wellness venture,
Jedi
