120mg is high...I can't tell you if this is a dangerous dose, however, Phenelzine is a dangerous drug when it come to taking more than is typically recomended.
Phenelzine ( a hydrazine derivative) is carcinogenic, and you increase the risk of liver (angiosarcoma) and lung specific cancer as you increase the dose.
At that dose, I would monitor your liver function, simply because most (upwards of 80%) of monoamine oxidase is inhibited typically at the 60-90mg dose range (depending on your weight) and any dose over that does not contribute to MAO activity...You may be one of the few people where the degree of MAO inhibition doesn't necessarily correlate with theraputic response....
also, there may be some bioequivalence issues with Link Pharm..I posted a link in a reply to one of your more recent posts...
in any event, Im glad you are doing well...I know the profound difference Nardil has made in my life
