In reply to Max dose Parnate in the UK is only 30 mg !! » SLS, posted by don_bristol on July 22, 2004, at 13:22:01
Don, I'm in Australia and recently saw a psych. who specialises in treating resistant depression. He put me on Parnate 10mg on day 1, 20mg on day 2, 30mg on day 3 and 40mg on day 4. When I see him again in a week from now, I'll have been on 40mg b.i.d. for 3 weeks. He doesn't strike me as being a reckless doctor, but has bemoaned more than once the fact that much treatment fails due to underdosage. With almost 40 years experience of depression behind me, I'm inclined to agree with him. I'm sure he'll have no hesitation in raising my dosage if he feels it is warranted. Presently I take no other drugs and am having no trouble tolerating the Parnate. I am about six feet tall and weigh 105 kg. I hope you find this info useful and I wish you success in your treatment.
