Hi Ace,

Thanks for getting back to me. See my responses below.

>> others require 75mg/day, and yes, some (like yourself) find that the best dose is 90mg/day. But, with all due respect Mr. Nardil champ, the best dose for you is not necessarily the best dose for everyone.
>
> Just about everyone.

I'm still not convinced that you're right. Consider some of the other Nardil users on this board. Jedi seems to be responding well at 75mg, and I think I recall Gardenergirl saying that she was responding well at 60mg. And if I remember Tecknohed's posts correctly, I think he was also at 60mg, but I think he said that it was losing some of its effectiveness. So, I hate to bring the some-versus-most debate into this thread, but I'm not entirely convinced that "just about everyone" needs to be at 90mg/day.

> Man, it's cool for you to do want you and your MD want, but I personally would go straight to 90mg for maximum MAOI inhibition.

I guess I understand where you're coming from. I think my initial response was a little harsh. I do appreciate your suggestion and welcome you to give me more in the future.

> I'm a register in 2 months. So I am not 'planning', I am 'being' a psychiatrist. Arent I so good!!! ha ha!!

That's good news, and I do mean it. Good luck.

> I would not say that in a excited or agressive tone, I would strongly reccommend it in a matter of a fact way. In my capacity as a member of psychobabble, I act in a way I would NEVER act with actual patients. You are not my patient. With patients I will be very warm and caring, but at the same time keep a healthy distance from them and be matter of fact about medications. But on this board I am just being my crazy self.

Thanks for your explanation. Feel free to be your "crazy self" here as much as you want.

> Not many doctors would say "INCREASE TO 90MG!!!!"

In all seriousness, you're probably right. But unfortunately, far too few pdocs even prescribe Nardil in the first place.

> You seem bitter about psychiatry, or psychiatrists? Am i right?

Partially. I do feel some bitterness at times, but then again, I definitely wouldn't say that I'm anti-psychiatry, either.

Keep rockin' Nardil champ.

Tomatheus
