> In this double-blind study, their conclusions were that Parnate was effective for treating panic disorder and social anxiety disorder, and that 60 mg/day was much more effective than 30 mg/day.


This investigation studied only those people who suffered from panic disorder and social anxiety disorder comorbidly. I should have specified that the superiority of the 60 mg/day dosage over 30 mg/day dosage was seen for the social anxiety component. Otherwise, the difference in efficacy for panic disorder was not as large.

You can try 30 mg/day of Parnate first, but I would consider raising the dosage to 60 mg/day if you do not obtain satisfactory results at the lower dosage. I don't think 30 mg/day will be very effective for the depression or the GAD. If you titrate the dosage gradually, you might better tolerate the Parnate. I find that the orthostatic hypotension all but disappears with continued use.

How would you deal with insomnia were it to appear as a side effect?
