Mike,
Many p-docs quoted in the literature say the proper dosage is typically 1 mg/kg (i.e.; 1 mg of Nardil per kg of body weight).
With regard to how fast you ramp up the dosage, here is the Prescribing Information document for Nardil published by Pfizer, the maker of Nardil. On page eleven, read the Initial dose and the Early phase treatment sections. However, pay no attention to the Maintenance dose section; lowering the dosage in the maintenance phase is a bunch of baloney. Ask Ace; he knows. Here's the link:
