> Still nothing on day 6 of parnate, but there's still plenty of potential time in the "range" of when people typically begin responding. However, I am beginning to wonder if my dose is a bit low for social anxiety. I've read in past posts that the 60-80mg/day range is the norm... any opinions on this? I'm still on 10mg three times per day, and am trying to decide if I should wait out this dose a bit longer or go ahead and bump it up a bit. It's always nice to stay as low as possible of course, but if people with social phobia typically don't respond at 30mg/day (I know we all differ, but it's often telling if MOST people need a higher dosage), then I may go up. Just curious what you all thought.

Your current schedule seems very conservative, to me. You could try taking 20mg as your initial dose, then 10mg in the afternoon. Call your Pdoc and ask if you can step up the dose/schedule. I found relief at 40mg for a long time, but recently have upped the dose, which is common.
