Well, I am still at 40mg/day and my symptoms are still parked at 20-30% symptom improvement.
Long story short, I am still having to be seen in the crisis clinic because I won't be able to see my new shrink until 6/10.
I went there today, hoping for a dose increase but was told it was too soon, even though I presented the prescribing info which says dosage increases can be made up to 10mg/week, and let them know I needed high doses of Nardil and Parnate (respectively) for those drugs to work well.
I hate the brick walls with this disorder and some clinicians--it seems that as long as I am sub-acute it doesn't matter how much I'm still suffering...
Does anyone know if leaving oneself "parked" at a sub-remissive dose for too long decreases the chance of a higher dose working later? It looks like I have no choice but to stay at 40 until 6/10.
Scott, I am so sorry to hear you haven't responded well--you probably know they went up to 80 in some of the studies.
