Ace,
I think I'll consider increasing the dose to 90mg if and when I get a poor response at 75mg/day. Some patients respond to Nardil at 60mg/day, others require 75mg/day, and yes, some (like yourself) find that the best dose is 90mg/day. But, with all due respect Mr. Nardil champ, the best dose for you is not necessarily the best dose for everyone. I don't think that it would be a good idea to just jump straight up to 90mg/day without first trying 75mg/day. There's no reason to take extra (and spend extra) if I don't need to.
And (once again with all due respect), don't you think your response was a little demanding. I've read in other posts that you've said that you're planning on becoming a psychiatrist. I don't know if saying things such as "increase dose to 90mg NOW!!!!" would make for good relations with your patients. Then again, it seems like such an approach is really not so far outside the norm in psychiatry. Hmmm. Maybe you would be well-suited for the profession, after all.
