> I'm still not convinced that you're right. Consider some of the other Nardil users on this board. Jedi seems to be responding well at 75mg, and I think I recall Gardenergirl saying that she was responding well at 60mg. And if I remember Tecknohed's posts correctly, I think he was also at 60mg, but I think he said that it was losing some of its effectiveness. So, I hate to bring the some-versus-most debate into this thread, but I'm not entirely convinced that "just about everyone" needs to be at 90mg/day.
I actually got that info from an EXTREMELY academic MAOI paper and from personal experience and what I have seen. But sure, some people might need only 60mg. They sometimes recommend dose at 1mg/1kg body weight.>

I do appreciate your suggestion and welcome you to give me more in the future.
Sure!

> That's good news, and I do mean it. Good luck.Yeah, i have to prepare myself emotionally very much so. Psychiatry can be extremely taxing on ones emotion and everyone knows psychiatrists have a high suicide rate due to stress.
> > I would not say that in a excited or agressive tone, I would strongly reccommend it in a matter of a fact way. In my capacity as a member of psychobabble, I act in a way I would NEVER act with actual patients. You are not my patient. With patients I will be very warm and caring, but at the same time keep a healthy distance from them and be matter of fact about medications. But on this board I am just being my crazy self.

> Thanks for your explanation. Feel free to be your "crazy self" here as much as you want.
Cool dude!! No, I wont call my patients dude!!!!

> > Not many doctors would say "INCREASE TO 90MG!!!!"

> In all seriousness, you're probably right. But unfortunately, far too few pdocs even prescribe Nardil in the first place.It's a disgrace....throughout their training they are just bamboozled with the SSRI lie. So, hence thats what they believe. But I can see past the smoke and mirrors.

> > You seem bitter about psychiatry, or psychiatrists? Am i right?
>
> Partially. I do feel some bitterness at times, but then again, I definitely wouldn't say that I'm anti-psychiatry, either.They can be very rude and unethical. No doubt. They are just human. But if they are this way they shouldn't practice. I am determined to be very caring, warm and considerate to ALL patients -- even forensic ones who call me all nasty names!
