> Hey everyone I have a question. On the link provided by pfizer (above) says to take 3 tablets of 15mg a day.
That is a general recommendation. Everyone is different.
> Now my pdoc has prescribed me 1 15mg a day,I wouldn't start on only 15mg. However, your MD may just be concerned about side effects- which can be very noticeable early on with Nardil.
It conked me out- but I loved it!and at the 4th day to increase up to 2 tablets of 15mg a day so total of 30 mg a day.
Personally, i would start from DAY 1 on this.
Which contradicts what Pfizer says, I dont know what to believe.
Like I said, it is a general recommendation. In psychiatry things are very much in the "grey zone"
Please try and not get anxious about this.>
> I read that link to my mother and she disagreed and said I should listen to the pdoc to take 2 15mg tablets a day (total of 30mg/day) from the fourth day and on. Any suggetions what I should do?Sure. Ask your MD to start your dose of at 30mg. By the end of the second week reach a maximum of 60mg (of course, if side effects too strong drop dose by 15mg TEMPORARILY). Then stay put on this for 4 weeks.
Ask him if you can do this.
If he would rather not, ask why. He sounds like he is just be overly cautious, which isn't such a bad thing, and he is worried about possible s/effects.
Adhere to the diet, speak to your doctor, and get back to me.
In the meantime, try to have faith all will be OK!Your on Nardil now- all WILL be OK!!
