In reply to Nardil - shall I increase dose?, posted by reflecting on January 19, 2012, at 18:49:47

While my social anxiety plus dysthimia seems nearly cured on some days, I feel depressed and rejectionsensiyive on othrr days again... esp. when being away from family and some old friends at home (which I am most of the time).Psychotherapy? Maybe your residual depression and rejection sensitivity / anxiety are not biogenic, but, rather, psychogenic. Extra Nardil will not help with this.
I would say that the maximum dosage of Nardil is 1 mg/kg body weight. 90 mg is probably a good dosage for you. I agree with Atypical in that you should wait longer before coming to any conclusions. Some people don't respond to Nardil for 3 months. It might be worth the wait. Response patterns are not always linear. It can have peaks and valleys, even though the trend is towards improvement.
I like using low-dosage lithium (300-600 mg/day) to help stabilize an antidepressant response if it remains variable. I have seen it work with MAOIs.
