In reply to NARDIL DOSAGE QUESTIONS , posted by craig allen on September 6, 2003, at 22:58:53
Don't give up yet. It can take up to 2 months for Nardil to become effective. My experience is that is that a dosage change takes between 3 days and 4 weeks to take effect. I've been on Nardil for almost 30 years, and am currently taking 120 mg a day. The split that works best for me is half first thing in the morning and the other half at noon. I have tried one pill at a time equally spaced out over the day, all in the morning, all at noon, all at night, three times a day, all variations of twice a day, and more. Both the effective dose and the way the dosage is split over the day vary enormously from one person to the next. You will have to experiment to find what works best for you ane how to split the dose over the day.
