Then, if it doesn't, you can then proceed to 80mg of Parnate. Your doctor will probably allow you to remain on the increased dosage of methylphenidate. However, if you were to ask him to do this after arriving at 80mg, he might be reluctant and say no.

haha
I went up to 70mg. Until I find new Doc I don't want to run risk of running out. Maybe I will stay at current dose of Ritalin, seems like getting the Parnate at therapeutic range is most important. Darn, had a dream last night. Stubborn brain.
Hope you are doing/feeling well : )
