Getting a rock-solid effect with Parnate is difficult. This is the only thing that worked for me:
100mg upon waking.
25mg every three hours thereafter, four times dailyThat is a total of 200mg/day, way beyond what it seems many people can tolerate. I also made my own capsules from bulk tranylcypromine hemisulfate; good luck getting a doctor to Rx that amount and have fun carrying around 20 pills.
You may be able to do something like 50mg morning and 10mg every three hours, but I found that higher dosages last longer (due to tranylcypromine's short half-life) and I could achieve what felt like a steady state only at 200mg/day.
It felt great to be on that regimen, incedentally, but not as good as 90mg/day phenelzine.
