Hello Lepus,I was told to start out at 15mg three times a day for the initial week and work up from there as tolerated to a dose of approximately 1mg per kilogram of body weight. Since I weigh around 195, my goal is going to be 90mg.
I am only telling you what I am planning to do because all of us are different. I plan on going to 60mg after week one, 75mg after week 2, and 90mg after week three. Of course I might have to alter my plan according to my own reaction. The only thing that is going to stop me from going up as scheduled is hypotension. I can deal with other S/E's, but the postural hypotension that I encountered with Parnate was a nightmare. My experience with hypotension and Parnate is that is goes away with time. I am hoping that Nardil will be better at keeping anxiety at bay.
I look forward to hearing your progress Lepus. How much do you weigh?
