On the patient information leaflet in which my Nardil comes (Hansam Healthcare Limited) it basically states start with 45mg. After 2 weeks no response, go to 60mg. Might take 4 weeks to feel full effct of the tabs (interesting, since I've heard of it, on average taking 4-5 or 6-8 to start, with full benifits later or maybe in one 'zap') This is the most questionable part: it states that in HOSPITAL some benifit from 90mg per day. I find this interesting since, I've heard of many, many non-hospital users on 90mg, particularly on this site. Even beyond 90mg. Since I'm hellbent on 90mg in a few days I find this wierd. What, at 90mg will the s/effects be so bad you need hospitalistion?!
I find this implausible. Do you?
Can you guys see what it says on your patient info sheet? I assume it is different with every different manafacture of Nardil. By the way, does anyone know how many different manafactures create it? (I'm in Australia)
Thanks guys...

Most people don't take 90mg, regardless of what you read on this site. Most people feel the full effects @60mg, you shouldn't be "aiming" for a specific dose.
As far as the hospital thing, I think what they are saying is that, typically, those ill enough to be in a hospital, may need 90mg to get relief from their depression, etc.

alot of people take 90mgs of nardil. 75mgs-90mgs is best for the social anxiety part of the med and to get dopamine flowing......
60gs is good dose for depression.....

> rossThe typical dose is 45-60mg. I don't doubt that 90mg is the dose you need, but to say that 75-90mg is needed to treat social phobia, and to get dopamine flowing, just doesn't make sense. Since Nardil inhibits both MAO-A and MAO-B, its effect on dopamine isn't dose dependent.
