> 45 mg Nardil...
I would say that the therapeutic range for severe depression is 60-90mg.
There is a formula that is sometimes used to establish a target dose:
1 mg per kg of body weight
"DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
Initial dose: The usual starting dose of NARDIL is one tablet (15 mg) three times a day.
Early phase treatment: Dosage should be increased to at least 60 mg per day at a fairly
rapid pace consistent with patient tolerance. It may be necessary to increase dosage up to
90 mg per day to obtain sufficient MAO inhibition. Many patients do not show a clinical
response until treatment at 60 mg has been continued for at least 4 weeks."http://www.pfizer.com/files/products/uspi_nardil.pdf
