I have spoken with my doctor about this already, actually, to feel him out concerning how high he'd be willing to push the dose if required, as I know some people end up needing hundreds of milligrams per day. He says the sky's the limit, barring unwanted adverse reactions.

I'm always amazed at hearing how many people do well on doses in excess of 70 mg/day. My thinking has been (wrongfully) shaped by the patient insert which simply states therapeutic dose up to 60 mg/day, and Glaxosmith Kline evidently refuses to update the insert to reflect the liberalized diet restrictions and changes in thinking about high doses.
I still wonder, though, if you don't have insurance, wouldn't high doses get to be quite expensive? And if you are covered by insurance, hasn't the insurance company established a limit as to how high a dose they will pay for? Seems that these people have mastered the art of denying payment for every reason imaginable, so I wonder if they've set a maximum reimbursement vis a vis Parnate dosage. Just curious. cubbybear
