Hadn't thought about that til now; maybe that's why it's taking longer?I don't see why you're titrating to 60 mg so fast. 45 mg is a good dose to test out. You should've got up to 45 and stayed there for 4-6 weeks. If you felt a bit better then go up to 60 and do 4-6 weeks.
MAOI's are the most important drugs not to jump shark early.
You've been on..
15 mg - 3 days
30 mg - 3 days
45 mg - 1 week
60 mg - unknown.This is not enough to jump off Nardil. Pick 45 mg or 60 mg and stay there for 4-6 weeks.
