In reply to Parnate day #6... dosage?, posted by Rocket Jackson on March 20, 2006, at 8:55:12

> Still nothing on day 6 of parnate, but there's still plenty of potential time in the "range" of when people typically begin responding. However, I am beginning to wonder if my dose is a bit low for social anxiety. I've read in past posts that the 60-80mg/day range is the norm... any opinions on this? I'm still on 10mg three times per day, and am trying to decide if I should wait out this dose a bit longer or go ahead and bump it up a bit. It's always nice to stay as low as possible of course, but if people with social phobia typically don't respond at 30mg/day (I know we all differ, but it's often telling if MOST people need a higher dosage), then I may go up. Just curious what you all thought.
