In reply to Nardil Dosage, posted by AZLIZZY on September 21, 2008, at 0:38:57
> Hi. I was hoping someone who has taken Nardil would be able to help me. I have been slowly increasing the dosage of Nardil I was prescribed by 15 mg since I began taking it in the middle of August. I am currently at 75 mg and have been for about 3 weeks. Should I increase my dosage to 90 mg? What is the regular effective dosage? It seemed so hopeful. I'm really scared that I have run out of options. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

I posted this in another thread, but will gladly repeat it here. A general rule for Nardil is 1mg/kg of body weight/day. If you're 150lbs (68kg), 75mg should be an effective dose. If you're closer to 200lbs (90kg), 90mg would be the target dose.Are you taking any other medications?
Re: running out of options, there are many combinations you could try, augmenting agents like Lithium, Deplin, even adding a low-dose TCA under close physician supervision.
Glad to hear the Nardil is providing some benefit.
