I'm starting Parnate tomorrow morning (this is my 3rd time on Parnate) and i would like some recommendations on titration strategies.
This is what i am thinking of doing;
10mgs.for 3 days
20mgs 3 days
30mgs 3 days
40mgs 3 days
50mgs until i get a responseIn the past i have responded well to 50mgs. within the first 2 weeks. Please give me your personal advice/recommendations.

That sounds good, but IMHO your target dose should be 0.8mg/kg day for the "usual" dose, or 1.5mg/kg for the "robust" dose. When I started it, I went to 60mg/day within the first week, as the target dose was 120mg/day, but this does not apply to everyone.
