90 mg of Parnate is the "normal" max, but a few people go higher. Unbelievably high in some cases: my pdoc has one guy on 300mg! Makes you want to keel over just hearing it, doesnt it? Anyway, just a reminder that dosage is an individual issue and the published figures are just guidelines. Dont get locked into them.> > > Also, you mentioned that you eat "fresh & mozzarella," and i'm not sure if you meant this, but if you meant ANY fresh cheeses as well as moz., that is a bad idea. Unless you just meant fresh as in non-aged. That might be okay. Sorry. But yeah even the freshest aged cheese is a big no-no. Justsoyouknow.

> OH Lordi...no aged cheeses at ALL! Yeah, I didn't mean all fresh, but rather cottage, ricotta and the like. I've heard of people being able to have jack, but I've gotten a minor reaction from half a slice.
